The gi-oiiii of I'ifriiuT figured on the present plate is now placed with Phrisgiini iu the 

 Collection of the British Musenm, on account of the presence of a tuft of hair near the a]iex of 

 the undersurface of the abdomen in the males. But these species differ entirely in neuration from 

 the types of Phrittsui-n, agreeing iu this particular with Beleiiois. iu which genus we prefer to 

 include them.
