distimd, occiput weakly or distinctly bullate; jiostoculai' ])ortion 
of head lon<i:er than I'yi's. Fronotum subpuadrate, latni'al mar-

but narrowl}^ rounded; caudal margin moderately arcuate;, disk 
of iironotum broad, Aveakly arcuate transversely; median sulcus 
distinct cephalad; lateral ascending sections veiy narrow. Teg- 
mina brief, little longer than pronotum; distal margin obliquely 
concavo-truncate; juncture of horizontal dorsal and vertical 
lateral sections of tegniina without true keel. Wings not evidiuit. 
Al)domen with third and fourth tergites with well-developed 
lateral folds, that on fourth larger; surface of abdomen punctulate, 
polished. Forceirs of male slender, elongate, not contiguous at 
the liase, with at least one tooth near median section, apices 
incurved. For(‘e])S of female simple, attenuate, apici's narrowly 
incurved. Pygidium of male distad simple oi' bispinosia Limbs 
elongate.

In addition to the genotype, iMefresura contains at k'ast two 
species which have been referred to A eoIobopJioro, and whiidi 
should be removed from the latter — borellii Burr and uis(>lit<i 
Borelli. Of the former material is now bi'fore us,'^ and thi' 
latter is clearly a member of the same genei'ic unit. S('\eial 
other s])ecies have lieen referred to i\ colo})()phor<i which wo Ikim' 
not lieen able to examine. The African giums Airhutii.r Buri- 
shows distinct relationship to Metresura on one hand and IIk'

however, it can be distinguished by tlu' non-impre.ss('d lu'ad su-
