The specimen from Amboina agrees fully with Brunner's de- 

 scription in form of the male cerci. In the Obi male the minute 

 subapical internal tooth is absent from the cerci. 



The literature on this genus is extremely unsatisfactory and 

 without more material we cannot solve the problems which at 

 present confront the student. It would appear very probable that 

 melanonota Stal is a synonym of ensis (Haan), as is also marginata 

 Fritze, in Karl. 29 



Until a complete revision of the genus is accomplished we can 

 only state that in the material before us two distinct species are 

 represented, one unquestionably brunneri of Karny, the other 

 melanonota of Stal. 

 Psyra melanonota Stal.

The Moluccan series has the pronotum immaculate except for a 

 broad transverse band of blackish across the caudal portion of the 

 disk above the humeral sinus. This band is sometimes paler in its 

 cephalic half. The two distal cereal teeth in the males vary in 

 their curvature and in the first tooth, which in form ranges from 

 chisel-shaped to acute. 



PSEUDOPSYRA new genus 



Known only from the male sex, we are in consequence unable to 

 state whether this genus should be referred to the Group Psyrae or 



28 Described for spinoso-laminata as scarcely longer than the pronotum, (7 

 millimeters), by Brunner, Verh. Zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, XLI, p. 80, (1891).
