APHROPHORA Germar. 



Haifa dozen species or more referred to this genus have been found 

 fossil in amber, and at Oeningeii, Aix, Radoboj, and at Greith. in the

To Ap]iro]ihora as typical of the subfamily I refer Some imper' 

 specimens which bear a certain general n-.-endilaiice to Palecphora, but 

 which have a rounded front to the thorax, showing that they should lie 

 brought in this division. None of them are perfect enough to enable one 

 to draw from all a proper description, for they appear to have been fiv 

 insects. The structure of th ippears to be as in 1 'alccphora ; the

 large Bllbapical co>tal clollil.
