Uhler), is incorrectly referred to the Tingitide: it belongs 
to the Aradide. The name Alyattes being preoccupied, 
Dr. Bergroth [Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, xxxvi, p. 59 
(1886)] has substituted Phyllocraspedum for it; Walker's 
name, published in 1873, must however be retained.* His 
species will stand as Phyllotingis eximia, Haglund’s name 
having five years’ priority. ‘Two others are now known.

This genus includes a single species, S. liliputianwm, 
Sign. (= Coleopterodes fuscescens, Philippi), from Chili. 
There are two specimens of it in the Oxford Museum. 
DOLICHOCYSTA, gen. 0. 
Rostrum extending to the meso-metasternal suture. Rostral groove 
uninterrupted, narrow and parallel on the pro- and mesosternum, 
closed in front, the buccal laminze long and very prominent. Intercoxal 
portion of the metasternum broad and transverse. Antenne slender, 
widely separated at the base. Head without spines, the eyes small. 
Pronotum tricarinate, with broad, rounded, closely reticulated mem- 
branous margins, and a long decurved, anteriorly prominent hood, 
the triangular posterior portion largely developed, acute at the tip. 
Elytra short, broad oval, a little longer than the abdomen ; dis- 
coidal area large, occupying more than two-thirds of the length of 
the elytra, raised externally, and surrounded by prominent nervures, 
the outer (median) nervure subfoliaceous ; subcostal area about as 
wide as the costal ; costal area of uniform width from the base to 
near the apex, biseriate almost to the tip. Orifice not visible. Legs 
very slender. 
This genus bears a general resemblance to Acalypta, 
Westw. (= Orthostira, Fieb.); but differs from it in the 
very prominent buccal lamin, which close the rostral 
groove in front, the long, anteriorly prominent, decurved 
pronotal hood, &c. It is perhaps best placed near Corythaica, 
Stal. The specimens described may perhaps belong to 
a brachypterous form; they are from the northern part of 
Lower California. 
* The antenne are incorrectly described by Walker, the type 
having a very elongate basal joint P
