Subfamily III. MERODONTIN 2, 
Genus 11. PROTYLOCERA, Bezzi (1912). 
This name was introduced by me to replace Stenasp/s (Senaspis), 
which is preoccupied in Coleoptera; I had previously adopted the 
name Dolichomerus, which, however, having tor type crassus, Fabr., 
is completely identical with Phytomia ( Megaspis). All the species 
of the present genus have a common facies and are easy to recognise ; 
but there are some variations, and forms with open marginal cell 
or with pubescent eyes are perhaps to be included here. T' ihe genus 
is eminently characteristic of the Ethiopian fanna.
