PANABACHIA new genus 



This genus is erected for Bryaxis vulnerata Sharp. Sharp (1887, p. 31) 

 has the following to say: 



"Antennae short and slender, with rather large club; joints 4-8 minute, sub- 

 equal, the terminal three gradually forming a club. Head short, moderately 

 broad, the front of the clypeus a Httle raised and with a slight antennary 

 tubercle ; bifoveate between the eyes, the extreme vertex in the middle slightly 

 notched or depressed. Thorax broad and short, much narrowed behind; with a 

 very large and deep depression formed as it were of three depressions united, 

 the larger on the disc, the smaller one a little nearer the front on each side. 

 Elytra with a distinct sutural stria and a well-marked intrahumeral depres- 

 sion." 1.25 mm. 



This species is figured by Sharp, showing the remarkable discal excavation 

 of the pronotum. Such pronotal structure is absent in the qualitative sense 

 from Reichenbachia, and Raffray (1904, p. 156) placed this species with doubt 

 in Reichenbachia as a new division, and felt that it warranted at least a new 

 subgenus. 



I feel that the structure of the pronotum is sufficient for a generic di- 

 vergence. Based on a unique, it has not been reported since.

NODULINA (Raffray, 1904) 



This monotypic genus is allied closely to Reichenbachia, differing in the 

 anatomy of the head. The head is very wide, including the prominent eyes, 

 more than one-half wider than the length between the occipital margin and 

 frontal margin; both occipital margin and the frontal margin between the 

 antennal bases are truncate, with the angles rounded abruptly to give a trans- 

 versely-squared appearance. Beyond the frontal margin the epistome is greatly
