Type.— Cat. Xo. 14502, U.S.X.M. 



Genus TRICHIOTAXONUS Rohwer. 



This genus belongs to the tribe Empriini. It may be readily 

 separated from Empria by having the malar space wanting. 



Genus SALATIGIA Enslin. 



This genus belongs to the tribe Lycaotini. 



Genus SENOCLIA Cameron. 



Konow has placed this genus as a sj^nonym of MonopTiadnus 

 Hartig, but the foUo^ving characters taken from the t3^e of the geno- 



I type \\rill serve to show that he is wrong in this. 



Belongs to Blennocampini. Malar space wanting; eyes large, con- 



\ verging to the clypeus; clypeus truncate, slightly tapering apically; 



: ocellar basin and antennal furrows present; lateral ocelli below the 



5 supraorbital line; scape somewhat triangular; pedicellum longer 

 than ^vide, but broader at the apex; flageUum hair\-, the first and 

 second joints subequal; basal vein and transverse median interstital 

 pr nearly so; basitarsis IIJ^ longer than the three foUo wing joints;
