Allied to the Anstro-papuan genus Phaconeum Kirk., 

 from wtiich it differs in the following characters: the base of 

 the vertex is angnlarly sinuate (not broadly truncate in the 

 middle as in Phaconeum), the carinate lateral margins of the 

 head are not interrnpted at the clypeo-f rontal suture, the 

 inferior margin of the eyes is truncate (deeply sinuate in Phaco- 

 neura),the pronotum is unicarinate (tricarinate in Phaconeura) 

 and its apical margin is angular in the middle (truncate in 

 Phaconeura), the two claval veins are united near the middle 

 of the clavus (not near its apex), the anal vein is straight, 

 fine and placed very near the suture (in Phaconeura curved, 

 dilated, tubercnlate and removed from the suture), and the 

 axillar vein is strongly dilated toward the base and tubercnlate 

 (in Phaconeura fine and simple );^ the venation of the corium 

 is also alittle different. Mr MuiR of Honoluln has obhgingly
