Corneous plates of the prosternum not contiguous with the prosternal 

 process i o 



10. Ligula bilobed Lissagria Csj- 



Ligula bifid only 1 1 



1 1. Right mandible strongly toothed Lorinota Csy. 



Right mandible feebly toothed Anaulacaspis Ganglb. 



Unknown to me, and not embodied in the above table are : Demera Fvl. 

 and Myniiecoccphalus MacL. 



Remarks. — The carinate mesosternum and the closed middle coxal 

 cavities entitle Lophagria Csy. to generic rank; it has the right 

 mandible rather strongly toothed, the ligula bifid to about the middle, 

 the prosternal plates moderately large, subquadrangular and con- 

 tiguous, and the scutellum simple. Type and only species: suhccnca 

 Epp. 



Cardiolo M. & Rev. is at once recognizable by the entirely closed 

 middle coxal cavities and the truncate mesosternal process. The only 

 other Falagrioid genus with entirely closed middle coxal cavities, 

 Lophagria Csy., has the mesosternal process feebly rounded at tip, 

 and has the whole mesosternum strongly carinate in its entire length. 

 a character not known to me to occur in any other related genus. 

 Type and only species : obscura Grvh. 



Borboropora Kr. The bidentate right mandible will be a sufficient 

 character to separate this genus from all the others in the Falagria 

 group. The head is very large, larger than the prothorax, trans- 

 versely quadrate, the right mandible strongly bidentate in the middle 

 of the inner margin, the left mandible with an obtuse tooth below the 

 middle of the inner margin, the mentum subsinuate in front, the 

 ligula bifid, the labial palpi 3-jointed, with short second and long 

 third joint, the mesosternal process arcuato-truncate at tip, the middle 

 coxae separated, and the middle coxal cavities open behind, the hind 

 tarsi with joint i fully as long as joints 2-4 together, the scutellum 

 punctate and without carin?e. Type kraatzi Fuss. 



Pseudoscopccus Weise is placed by recent publications in synonymy 

 with Borboropora, although Weise desci:ibes the mandibles as simple, 

 and the tarsi as pentamerous. Type : Reittcri Weise. 



Ancurota Csy. is a synonym of Borboropora, with sulcifrons Csy. 

 as type. 



Orthagria Csy., proposed for quadriceps Lee, is also a synonym 

 of Borboropora.
