 ish; ovijwsitor sheaths blackish brown with the basal third pale 

 yellowish brown. Antennae black with the last two funicle joints 

 and the club yellowish white. Legs blackish brown, the front and 

 hind coxae and front femora somewhat purplish; the middle femora

ANISOTYLUS, new genus. 



Female. — Head moderately thick fronto-occipitaUy, the face some- 

 what inflexed, as seen from the side the outline of the dorsal part 

 convex, the facial outline straight, the two meeting each other 

 roughly in an angle of somewhat more than 90°; seen from in front 

 the outline of the dorsal part of head circular, the effect broken below 

 by the moderately converging cheeks and the transversely arched 

 and broad oral margin; the fronto vertex moderately narrow, the 

 length being nearly thi-ice the width, the dorsal orbits slightly diverg- 

 ing anteriorly; ocelli in an acute-angled triangle, the posterior pair 

 almost touching the eye margins; eyes nearly twice as long as wide, 

 the dorsal orbits convex, the ventral nearly straight, the longer 

 axis much more nearly parallel with plane of the frontovertex than 

 of either the face or occiput; the latter but slightly concave with the 

 neck inserted near the center; cheeks somewhat shorter than the 

 width of the eyes; the face with slightly impressed linear scrobes 

 which converge above in an acute angle but do not quite meet. 

 Antennae inserted rather far apart, close to the clypeal margin, in 

 structure the same as in Homalotylus, the club solid. Labrum 

 usually well exposed, the margin convex. Mandibles thick at the 

 base and tapering to the moderately narrow, bidentate apex, the 

 teeth being rather short and not very acute, and on the side of the 

 inner or dorsal tooth is a slight trace or rudiment of a third tooth.
