Type in the British Museum. 



Tins species probably merits generic rank in the modern too 

 elaborate classification, since it differs from Lissonota (sensn stricio) 

 in its lack of metapleural carinas, though sufficiently closely re- 

 lated in its sparsely pectinate claws and circular metathoracic 

 spiracles, which will distinguish this brightly marked species from 

 the similarly decorated ones of SgzeKctKs. 



Described from two females in the British Museum.
