The Male Genital Armature of the Dcrmaptera. 435 



Genus Tagalina Dohrn. 



This old genus remains characterized by the peculiar form of 

 the tarsi ; the male reproductive organs are of the same general 

 type as those of Granopygia (PL VI. fig. 9). 



Genus Kaloerania Zacher. 



Zacher formed this genus for the Oriental species, fixing 

 marmoricrura as the type, figuring that species, and similis Zacher, 

 which I am inclined to think may be identical with siamensis 

 Dohrn. 



The metaparameres are rather broad, with a blunt knob at the 

 apex, and a blunt tooth on the inner margin near the apex. In 

 Kaloerania dsemeli this knob is nearly obsolete, showing a transition 

 towards the mucronate metaparameres of Acrania. 



Zacher describes the virga of K. marmoricrura as straight, yet 

 he figures it as doubled at the base of the preputial sac, there 

 being no marked division between it and the ejaculatory duct 

 (PI. VI. figs. 10 and 11). Including as virga the whole tube from 

 the hook near the base of the proparameres, the virga is about four 

 times as long as the metaparameres in both marmoricrura and 

 similis. I bring in here P. piepcrsi Burr from Pyge, as now I refuse 

 generic value to mere reduction of elytra (PL VI. fig. 12). 



Genus Oranopyyia Burr. 



This genus may have to be sunk in Kaloerania, or rather, if 

 they eventually coincide, it is Kaloerania which will be sunk in 

 the prior Cranopygia, but the definition of the latter must be 

 modified ; the metaparameres are of very similar design to those of 

 Kaloerania, but the virga is shorter, and straight (PL VI. figs. 13 

 and 14). Until the larger number of species have been examined, 

 it is worth while retaining this genus, but enlarging it, so as to 

 include kallip>yga Dohrn, and dsemeli Dohrn, which were formerly 

 wrongly included in Dicrana, before the restriction of that genus to 

 Ethiopian species. K. valida Dohrn will also come here from 

 Kaloerania ; it is close to G. cumingi (PL VII. fig. 1). 



The narrow ninth sternite of the type species, C. cumingi, can 

 no longer be regarded as the defining character of the genus, since 

 G. Jcallipyga and C. dxmeli are included here, and as also bachyp- 

 terisrn is rejected as a good character, it logically follows that Pyge 

 Burr must fall ; the genitalia of its type, P. modesta Borm, and of 

 P. sauteri Burr are of the same general type (PL VII. figs. 3 

 and 4).
