COMMENTS TO THE SYSTEMATIC ARRANGEMENT OF THE SYNOPSIS. 



Tlie main taxonomic results recorded in the above given synopsis 

 may briefly be presented as follows : 



The subfamily Nemognathhiae consists of two tribes: 



a. SITARINI and 6. NEMOGNATHINI. 



a. SITARINI witii four subtribes : 



1. Horniides, 2. Stenoriides, 3. Tricraniides, 4. Apalides. 



ft. NEMOGNATHINI with two subtribes : 



1. Zonitides, 2. Nemognathides. 



The genus Stenoria is placed in a subtribe Stenoriides next to 

 Uorniides and apart from subtribe Apalides which comprises Sitarls 

 and Apahfs, two closely related genera, entirely distinct from 

 IStenona. Genus Tricrania has been placed by Wellman and Borch- 

 mann in tribe Horiini together with Horia and Cissites and by Leng 

 in his tribe Zonitini immediately after Zonitis and Nemognatha and 

 right before Horia. In this paper, however, Tvicrarda is considered 

 ver}^ close to Stenoria and Hornia and listed accordingly.
