INSECUTOR INSCITI^ MENSTRUUS > 9 



The species with long metatarsus would run out to Brunner's 

 genus Parapygirhynchus if the anal segment of the female 

 is produced. But if this segment is truncate it would con- 

 stitute a separating character for the genus Ocnophila except 

 that it is a secondary sexual character and such characters 

 are usually deemed undesirable for generic differentiation . 

 Without more material in the forms concerned the task of 

 separating Ocnophila from Sermyle, or the responsibility 

 of sinking the former in synonymy, must be left for some 

 future consideration.

These specimens run out to this species in Brunner's keys 

 and agree with the short diagnosis except the antennae show 

 no distinct annulation, though it is basally somewhat darker, 

 especially above. While the type locality, Surinam, is a long
