  Cryptanura 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  genus 
  apparently 
  confined 
  in 
  its 
  distribution 
  

   to 
  the 
  Western 
  Hemisphere 
  and 
  there 
  very 
  largely 
  to 
  the 
  tropical 
  

   region, 
  only 
  two 
  species 
  being 
  known 
  to 
  occur 
  north 
  of 
  the 
  Mexican 
  

   border. 
  

  

  Three 
  species 
  from 
  the 
  Old 
  World 
  Tropics 
  have 
  been 
  referred 
  to 
  

   Polyaenus: 
  cingvlatus 
  Tosquinet 
  from 
  New 
  Guinea, 
  spiniferus 
  Cam- 
  

   eron 
  from 
  Borneo, 
  and 
  striatum 
  Szepligeti 
  from 
  Formosa, 
  but 
  none 
  

   appears 
  to 
  be 
  properly 
  referable 
  to 
  the 
  genus. 
  This 
  is 
  certainly 
  true 
  

   of 
  cingulatu^ 
  and 
  spiniferus^ 
  for 
  I 
  have 
  been 
  able 
  to 
  identify 
  the 
  

   latter 
  definitely 
  and 
  the 
  former 
  without 
  much 
  question 
  in 
  the 
  Baker 
  

   collection. 
  These 
  si)ecies 
  represent 
  an 
  apparently 
  hitherto 
  unde- 
  

   scribed 
  genus. 
  It 
  is 
  described 
  in 
  an 
  addendum 
  to 
  this 
  paper. 
  

  

  I 
  have 
  been 
  unable 
  to 
  identify 
  striatus 
  Szepligeti, 
  but 
  its 
  smooth 
  

   and 
  polished 
  mesoscutum, 
  longitudinally 
  impressed 
  propodeum 
  with 
  

   the 
  apophyses 
  apparently 
  represented 
  only 
  by 
  carinae, 
  and 
  elongate 
  

   postpetiole 
  would 
  seem 
  to 
  exclude 
  it 
  from 
  Cryptanura. 
  Aside 
  from 
  

   the 
  new 
  genus 
  mentioned 
  above, 
  to 
  which 
  striatus 
  obviously 
  does 
  not 
  

   belong, 
  only 
  one 
  other 
  Oriental 
  genus 
  is 
  known 
  to 
  me 
  that 
  has 
  two 
  

   frontal 
  horns. 
  This 
  is 
  Ceratocryptus 
  Cameron, 
  in 
  which 
  striatus 
  

   appears 
  to 
  be 
  equally 
  out 
  of 
  place. 
  

  

  SPECIES 
  WRONGLY 
  REFERRED 
  TO 
  CRYPTANURA 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  species 
  described 
  in 
  Cryptanura 
  by 
  Cresson 
  and 
  

   Cameron 
  do 
  not 
  belong 
  to 
  the 
  genus. 
  Unfortunately, 
  most 
  of 
  them 
  

   are 
  unknown 
  to 
  me. 
  The 
  apparently 
  proper 
  status 
  of 
  the 
  few 
  that 
  I 
  

   have 
  been 
  able 
  to 
  place 
  is 
  indicated.
