PJirisso podia Macq.

*Note. — In order to utilize the most salient differences, tlie table is 

 based to some degree on male cliuracters. altlion.ub it is believed that all 

 the genera are recognizable in the female sex. f)u]y genera studied by the 

 writer are included, but notes on others supposed to 1)0 .illicd are given 

 at the end.
