T\i)e : Cli'psimelea phnjganeoidcs sp. nov. 



The extraordinary insect which forms the type of this genus stands ipiite by 

 itself; but, following the neuration and the shape of the palj)i, I refer it for the 

 present to the Prosopolophinae; superficially it bears a remarkable resemblance to 

 some of the Fhri/gaiieidac.
