 Wales to Western Australia, was represented in the Simson collection by one 

 specimen, without exact locality. 



Genus H A p l a n e r. 



Haplaner velox Castelnau.

Genus N e ji a (; l o 8 s a. 



Sober, Gay's Hist. Chili: Zool., iv., p. 215, .1848; Lecanonherus Chaudoir, 

 Bull. Soc. Imp. Nat. Mosc, 1850. p. 446; Theiiarotes Bates, Cist. Ent.. 1878, p.

I have examined a specimen of Nemar/Iosfia hrevis Sober (^ Lecatminerus 

 maryinatus Reed) from Chili; and do not know how to distinguish the genus 

 Lecanomerus from Nemaglossa, nor do I think that Thenarotes is (even on Bates's 

 own showing) separable from Lecanomerus, except by trivial characters that are 

 not of generic value ; therefore thess three genera are considered as one here.
