Notes mi the Species. — The distinction drawn by Bates for the 

 generic characters of Licymnius are inadequate to separate this 

 genus from Chromomoea, of which lie admitted himself to 1k> 

 ignorant when describing />. foveicollis (Trans. Ent. Soc, 1 808. 

 p. 272). In a later paper (I.e., p. 317) lie expressed doubts as to 

 tin' sex of the specimen so described, while stating that Licymnius 

 is quite distinct from Chromomoea without giving any reason. 

 Having subjected many specimens to a microscopic scrutiny, the 

 only distinctions to lie noted are — (1) The rather (not "much 

 shorter," as the author states) shorter terminal joint of antennae; 

 (2) no pronounced sexual features in the posterior legs of J. 



1 Species unknown to, or not definitely determined by the author.
