Subfamily V. — Alloccelinse. 



This subfamily was established by Mocsary. It is allied to the 

 Cleptince, but is easily distinguished by the absence of a transverse 

 furrow on the pronotum, by the paucity of visible segments in the 

 abdomen, there being only two or three, and by the claws, which are 

 armed with a tooth beneath. 



Ducke's recently-established subfamily Pseudepyrince seems to fall 

 in here. 



In the character of the pronotum, the group shows some affinity with 

 the Amisegince, but from that group it is easily separated by the unidentate 

 claws, the armed metathorax, and by the totally different shaped abdomen.
