Obs. — I have seen but a single specimen of the curious insect 
which forms the type of this genus, which I purchased at the sale of 
the late Mr. Haworth’s Collection. As there was no label attached 
to it, I am not aware of its locality. I should, however, conjecture, 
from its general appearance, that it is an inhabitant of Brazil.
