oblique spine externally ; tarsi sulcate externally, anterior in male 

 with tliree basal joints dilatate, and furnished below with an 

 oblique row of squamulte on each side; 4th joint of anterior tai'si 

 decidedly bilobed, of middle emarginate, hardly bilobed, of posterior 

 not emarginate, the projecting hairs on each side equal. Length 

 9, breadth 3^ mm. 



This insect is winged ; it does not appear to differ in any 

 character from Plafynus, but I have described it more fully than 

 usual in regard to features more of generic than specific value, 

 so that its exact position in regard to Colpodes, a genus I am 

 unacquainted with, may l)e evident.
