no doubt also will have to be placed m this new genus. 

 It has also this long humeral pencil of hairs and »a lateral 

 crest that project from each elytron». 



Mr. Blackburn remarks, that he does not feel sure, 

 whether his Chlaniydopsis sternalis and Chi. inœqualis are to 

 be regarded as members of that genus or as members of 

 two allied genera, both distinct from the genus CJilamy- 

 dopsis Westw. For many reasons it seems me far better to 

 place them in different and new genera. Not having any 

 material of these two interesting species, I must leave the ques- 

 tion about their systematic position to further observations.
