ime-fotirth shorter than the two preceding, ovate, subequal in length to the

 by Mr. Frederick Knock of London, and being one determined by 

 an English authority and in the collection of Dr. L. O. Howard. 



Very similar, excepting in coloration and wing characters, to 

 piilla Girault. The antennae are very similar.

"Camptotere en-massue. Campiotera clavata, n. sp. 

 9 — Long. .09 pee. Noire, polie, brillante, les antennes et les

 ou moins renflees; tarses de 5 articles. Abdomen pedicule, le 

 reste formant une massue en pointe a I'extremite. — Ste Gertrude." 

 This brief, general description is inadequate for recognition 

 of the species, which on this account is probably lost to science 

 and will have to be rediscovered and renamed. The whereabouts 

 of the type is unknown to me.
