Fam. Poekillopteridae. 



This family consists of three subfamilies separable as follows: 



1. Clavus granulate; posterior tibiae with one to three 

 spines 3 PockiUoptcrinac. 



la. Clavus not granulate 2. 



2. Posterior tibiae with 2 to 4 spines i Ricaniinae. 



2a. Posterior tibiae spineless 2 Amphiscepinae. 



Subfamily Ricaniinae. 



Very little material in this group was collected; it is not 

 Irnown in Hawaii, but 11 genera and 18 species are recorded 

 from Australia, one new species being' now described. The 

 group has been monographed recently by Melichar
