Body cylindrical, elongate ; liead obtuse, short aud broad ; pro- 

 notuiu broader than long, the lateral margins oblique ; face sub- 

 triangular, apex produced, laterally before eyes broadly sinuate, 

 ocelli between eyes, a little further removed from eyes than from

I had previously followed Melichar in locating some species he 

 had described in the genus Agallia, but since he described his 

 AffaiUa hinutata from Ceylon, he has united that species with 

 Pachynus himaculicollis, Stfil. Pacliynus, however, is a preoccupied 

 name, but as StfiFs genus is the same as Nephela, which Dr. Buch. 

 AVhite subsequently described, tliat name is available, and the new 

 name proposed by Kirkaldy becomes unnecessary.
