POLYCLISTUS. 20U 



It a]ipears to me that Holmgren, Forster, and Thomson all 

 described different genera; and Poh/clistns were, perhaps, better 

 merged in Exoclms if the name had not already been frequently 

 cited, especially by systematists.

 puuctiform ; metanotum glabrous and discally deplanate, with 

 complete arete ; basal area quadrate ; areola hexagonal and a little 

 longer than bi'oad, emitting costula^ near its base ; petiolar area 

 jiot vertical, short, entire and basally stnmg. ScuteUum at sides 

 and apex, its frenum and whole of postscutcllum, flavou.s. 

 Abdomen nitidulous, punctate and pilose throughout ; two ba^^al

 throughout, with the disc bicarinate only on its basal third ; 

 venter and the basally concealed terebra piceous. Letjs strami- 

 neous ; anterior pairs with pulvilli and extreme base of coxa; 

 infuscate : hind ones with coxa?, trochanters and extreme base of
