trees (under wticli circumstances it may be seen, as he informs me, 

 to qJide about partially immersed in the exuding sap). Even if it be 

 not, however, a true JS^osodeiidron, there can be no question that its 

 aifinities are altogether with that genus, — the elongated third joint of 

 its antennae, v/hich are implanted under the lateral margin of the head, 

 the fact of the latter not being retractile beneath the anterior region 

 of the prothorax, the indistinctness of its upper lip, and the lai'ge size 

 of its mentum (which closes up the eiitire oral cavity) being in com- 

 plete accordance with the sub-family Nosodendrides of the Bijrrliidas. 

 But in its body not being fasciculated (but merely clothed, and even 

 that in unruhhed examples only, with a short, minute, remote, cinereous 

 pubescence) it recedes from Nosodendron; and there is also no mention 

 made in the diagnoses of the latter to which I have access, of the 

 narrow and lenticular antennal joint (well nigh lamelliform internally) 

 which immediately precedes the very abrupt triarticulated club. It 

 appears to me, too, that all the tarsi in Dendrodipnis are received 

 during repose against the dilated tibise, and not merely the front pair, 

 as is stated to be the case in Nosodendron.
