spurs at the apex, and the intermediate and posterior each with a secuud 

 pair considerably below the middle. 



This genus, in my opinion, scarcely belongs to the present family, 

 yet I know not where better to place it : from the other general it 

 differs in having the antenna^ not longer than the wings, the latter 

 very obtusely rounded at the apex, and differing in the positions of 

 the transverse nervures from the true Leptoceridte and the l^iryg.i- 

 nidae ; the lega, moreover, are rather long, and the two hinder yuiv 

 of tibia? are each furnished with two pair of longish spurs, one pair 

 at the apex, and the other pair much below the middlr.
