I have pleasure in dedicating this genus and species to my 

 friend and colleague. 



Tribe Penthimiini. 

 (=Gyponidae auctt. ) 



I can find no good characters to separate this tribe. It runs 

 into the Tetigoniini via Ez'acaiifhiis, into the Phrynomorphini 

 via ErrhomenelUis and Chiasmus : its forms are usually less elong- 

 ate, and the ocelli are usually on the disk of the vertex, but sit- 

 uated in front of a line drawn between the anterior margin of the 

 eyes ; this is however not the case in some species at present 

 attributed to Gypona. 



The following genera are T believe all that have been described : 



I The head dorsally with a large suboval ar:a separated off 

 anteriorly by a deeply impressed line. .1 Ectopiocephahis 



1 a Head dorsally without a part separated off (2) 



2 Tegmina very short, venation obscure (3) 



2a Tegmina reaching at least as far as the base of the genital 



segment, fully formed (4) 



3 Clypeus extending well beyond the apical margin of the 



genae, longer than half the length of the frons 



2 ErrhomenelUis 



3a Clypeus extending only as far as the apical margin of the 

 genae, not longer than half the frons 3 Chiasmus
