This and the following species appear to belong to the extensive 

 group which forms the genus Acanthocinus^ Meg. But as the 

 characters of that genus, together with those of many of the new 

 continental genera have hitherto been unpublished, I refrain from 

 referring these insects to any group with which I cannot be certain 

 that they accord. For the present I shall leave them in the com- 

 prehensive genus LamiUy until a complete revision is made of the 

 Capricorn Insects.
