TITUEIA. 1 59 



moderately convex ; clypeus or apex of face narrowly produced ; 

 antennae long, inserted beneath the anterior margin of the head, 

 remote from eyes ; ocelli of variable position. 



I agree with Kirkaldy in considering this subfamily as defined 

 by Stil " heterogeneous," but I cannot follow him in the attempt 

 to make a new subfamily " Stenocotinge" simply on the position of 

 the ocelli, Stfil having already given the chara'-ter " ocelli of 

 variable position.''
