 auterior coxte free, posterior tibioe remotely dentate above. 



Amyot & Serville (Hem. p. 577 (1843)), give as a representative 

 of their genus Epidines the Ledra planata, Fabr. As, however, 

 8tal pointed out, the character they gave for tliat genus, " Pro- 

 thorax incline presque verticalement," shows that iS))ic7mes= the 

 American eenus Proranus, Spin., and that ^Janata, Fabr. cannot be 

 included therein. Epidines is included by Berg in his subfamily 

 Oyponina (Hem.. Argent, p. 257 (1879)), a course followed by 

 Fowler.
