c? ?. Very close to Euijroserpiiiu.s and Froserpiiiinf, though different in aspect 

 owing to the more woolly scaling. Antenna not clubbed, narrowed to base and 

 ape.K, very strongly compressed in c?, hook gradually curved and narrowed, end- 

 segment elongate-triangular, broader basally than in the allied genera. Palpus 

 short, not projecting. Armature of tibiae as in Eti})roserpinut<, spines of foretibia 

 very long, apical thorn short ; wo pulvillus, paronychium vestigial. 



S. Sexual armature (of Iticidu^) as in I'lvverpinus ; tenth sternite rather 

 slenderer than in /-'. ularkiae (PI. XLV. f 4). Clasper elongate sole-shaped, 

 curved as iu Froserpinus ; harpe vestigial, rejiresented by a tapering ridge as 

 in P. (jaurae (PI. IL. f. lU). Penis-sheath with apical tooth as in clarkiac. 

 Early stages not known ; most likely similar to those of Froserpinus. 

 Ilab. I'acitic district of Nearctic Region, southward to Mazatlan, AV'est Mexico. 

 The similarity to " Boinbip-iduc " is ipiite sniierticial.
