This genus has its greatest affinities with Sermyloides Jac. 

 inhabiting Sumatra, the Philippines and other Eastern islands; 

 it entirely resembles it in most points especially in the traus- 

 versely shaped and anterior!}- narrowed thorax. but the palpi 

 are scareely incrassate and all the tibiae are distinctly mucronate; 

 in Sermyloides this is only the case with the intermediate and 

 posterior tibiae; the general appearance of the insect is also 

 more like one of the family Eutnolpidae than Ihe Galervcidae.
