Mr. Warren, Nov. Zoo], i, 461, 1894, suggests a genus Ctenote- 

 tracis by name, without description, and without type mentioned. 

 I am not aware any description has been given. He, it is true, says 

 "it is like Tetrads, except the antennre are pectinated in % ." This 

 differs very decidedly from Tetrads in that the antennae of the 9 ^ii'e 

 also bipectinate.

 P. jubararia Hulst.
