Length 13 m. ra., terebra 27 in.m. 



Ce^'lon (Nietner). 



Smooth and shining, sparsely hairfcl. Antennae shorter than 

 the body, stout, not tapering towards the apex. Parapsidal 

 fnrrows distinct on basal slope of mesonotuni. Metanotnm 

 thickly covered with longish fnlvous pubescence. Base of l^t abdo- 

 minal segment deeply, widely depressed, the depression slightly 

 narrowed towards the apex; a narrow curved furrow runs along 

 the sides of the 2"*^ segment from the base to near the apex. 



N/ Phaiìùidax gen. nov. 



Abdomen with 2 distinct crenulated basal furrows, a smooth 

 one on the apex of the 3''^ and 4^'' , and oblique ones on 

 the sides of the 2"'', 3'''^ and 4''^ segments, the furrow on the 

 2"*^ straight, on the 3''^ and 4"^ curved ; the abdomen is longer 

 than the head and thorax united, the middle segments not 

 dilated, hardly wider than the thorax ; there are 8 segments. 

 Head almost cubital, not margined below or behind. Parapsidal 

 furrows indicated at the basal half of mesonotum only, Radius 

 not reaching to the apex of the wings, wide, the radius issuing 

 from behind the middle of the stigma. Median segment without 

 a keel. There is a fine, indistinct, smooth furrow on the base of 

 the 5*^^ segment. The probrachial cellule in hind wing is very short. 



The only genus of Exothecini with a transverse abdominal 

 furrow is Fhanomeris ; it has, however, only one and has no 

 lateral abdominal furrows ; the abdomen is shorter and broader, 

 the probrachial cellule in the hind wings is longer, and the 

 radial cellule is longer. The present genus might be described as 

 an Ipliiaula.r. with the transverse median nervure not interstitial.
