Genotype, A. Idrticeps, Cam.

 sulcate below ; metanotum with strong area) ; basal area tri- 

 angular : areola large, distinctly longer than broad, basally 

 rounded and apically truncate ; two large lateral area) ; spiraenlar 

 areae distinct and tiie petiolar entire, with a stout basal carina 

 throughout. Abdominal petiole elongate and slender, cylindrical 

 and not perceptibly explanate towards the centre, with subcentral 

 spiracles. Legs with front tibia) neither intumescent nor basally

This genus, which I have not seen, is based upon male characters 

 only and " would come in near cahocej^halus \_Cuhoceplialas\ Katz., 

 which may be known from it by the transverse median nervure 

 not being interstitial and by the less completely areolated meta- 

 notum," says Cameron {loc. cif.). 1 consider it extremely im- 

 probable, in view of the pentagonal areolet and slender basal 

 segment, that it is correctly placed in the Xokidides, and I 

 should certainly transpose it to the Cutptin.e, if I could do so 

 from a personal kno\^"ledge of the insect,
