This genus is proposed for the little insect described by Mr- 

 Westwood from Australia, although it somewhat resembles a 

 Clerus in outline, it has little in common with any American 

 species. A careful dissection would, I have no doubt, reveal 

 further discrepancies. I think it sufficient here to indicate the 

 type of my genus, it being a well known species.
