  the

   joint 
  of 
  the

  (which 
  are

  This 
  genus 
  was 
  created 
  by 
  me 
  for 
  a 
  Chinese 
  species 
  

   {Trans. 
  Ent. 
  Soc, 
  i8j6, 
  p. 
  463). 
  It 
  belongs 
  probably 
  to 
  

   the 
  . 
  TentJiredinid.es 
  rather 
  than 
  to 
  the 
  Selandriades, 
  but 
  

   actually 
  is 
  intermediate 
  between 
  the 
  two. 
  The 
  transverse 
  

   basal 
  nervure 
  is 
  received 
  before 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  radial, 
  not 
  

   close 
  to 
  or 
  joined 
  to 
  it, 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  Selandriades, 
  with 
  which 
  

   it 
  agrees 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  calcaria 
  short, 
  not 
  reaching 
  near 
  

   to 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  metatarsus; 
  the 
  lanceolate 
  cellule 
  

   has 
  an 
  oblique 
  cross 
  nervure 
  ; 
  there 
  is 
  only 
  one 
  middle 
  

   cellule 
  in 
  the 
  hinder 
  wings; 
  the 
  clypeus 
  is 
  deeply 
  incised; 
  

   the 
  mandibles 
  are 
  long, 
  sharply 
  pointed, 
  and 
  end 
  in 
  one 
  

   long 
  tooth 
  ; 
  the 
  eyes 
  are 
  large, 
  almost 
  parallel, 
  and 
  reach 
  

   close 
  to, 
  but 
  do 
  not 
  touch, 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  mandibles. 
  

   The 
  antennae 
  do 
  not 
  taper 
  towards 
  the 
  apex, 
  and 
  are 
  

   long 
  and 
  slender. 
  The 
  claws 
  are 
  bifid. 
  The 
  antennae 
  

   appear 
  to 
  have 
  three 
  colours 
  in 
  all 
  the 
  species.
