selected by Rehn and Hebard, at time their Wattenwyliella was 

 proposed. 



Generic Characters:-^'" — Size medium small for subfamily, form 

 depressed. Pronotum not covering vertex of head; caudal mar- 

 gin feebly convex, truncate. Tegmina and wings fully dc\eloped 

 in both sexes, falling slightly short of, or reaching slightly beyond, 

 the abdominal apex. Tegmina broadest meso-distad ; scapular 

 field not broad, narrowing decidedly distad; discoidal sectors (the 

 majority of which are formed by branches of the ulnar vein) numer- 

 ous and feebly radiating, with numerous transverse veinlets. 

 Wings with mediastine vein reaching to near apex and bounding 

 area of costal veins, which is very narrow; costal veins few and 

 irregular; discoidal and median veins connected by numerous 

 transverse veinlets, the former branching irregularly distad; ulnar 

 vein with numerous (about eleven), strongly divergent, incom- 

 plete rami and few (about three) complete distal rami; axillary 

 vein with few (two) branches. Supra-anal plate weakly bilobate 

 in both sexes, cerci short. Male subgenital plate showing fea- 

 tures comparable to those found in Blabcrus. Cephalic femora 

 with ventro-cephalic margins armed proximad with a few, short, 

 heavy spines, followed by a row of minute, closely set, piliform 

 spinulae, terminating distad in a single, moderately elongate, 

 heavy spine; other femoral margins supplied with few, scattered, 

 short, moderately stout spines; genicular spines of median and 

 caudal femora only slightly longer than these. Tarsi with first joint 

 bearing disto-ventrad a large pulvillus, succeeding three joints with 

 brief ^■entral surfaces each fully occupied by a large puhillus. 

 Caudal metatarsus as long as remaining tarsal joints. Arolium 

 ample, but not extending more than half the distance to apex of 

 the heavy tarsal claws, its distal margin rather strongly angulato- 

 emarginate. with apex rounded.

■''•' Until a general study of the subfamily is made, we do not feel satisfied that some 

 of the features here given, should not be placed instead in the diagnosis of the Epilam- 

 prinae.
