This will probably form the type of a new genus. 



Subfamily Agalliinae. 



(Bythoscopidae of many authors.) 



I have retained this subfamily for the sake of convenience but 

 I cannot see any good characters by which it can be separated 

 from the lassinae, especially from such forms as Tarfcssits etc., 

 the position of the ocelli being so slightly different. 



The nomenclature is horribly confused, all authors up to 1900 

 (when T pointed the fact out) having ignored Lewis' fixation of 

 Janio as the type of Byfhoscopus. 



The following is the synonymy of several vexed genera : 

 r. Bytlwscopiis Germar, type lanio (Linn.) Lewis. 

 Macropsis auct. nee Lewis. 



Batraclwinorphns Lewis, tvpe irrnratn (=iii{crocepJiala) 

 Sfragaiiia Stal. (placed by Fowler among the Gyponumc^)

 Gargaropsis Fowler. 



2. Oncopsis Burmeister, tvpe flaincoJUs (Linn.) Westwood, 

 Macropsis (B) Lewis. 



Byfhoscopus auctt. 



3. Macropsis (A) Lewis, type vircsccns (Fabr.) Westwood. 



subg. Pcdiopsis Burmeister, type tiliac Burm. 



Tribe Agalliini. 

 EpipsycJiidion gen. nov. 



Forms a sort of link between the Agalliinae proper, and the 

 lassinae as represented by Tarfcssus; it is here placed in the 

 former as the ocelli are ventral though not very distinctly. 



Vertex dorsally very short, anteriorly obtuse-angled, pos-
