118 Mr. Malcolm Burr’s Preliminary Revision of the 
Genus 1.—SKENDYLE,* nov. gen. 
Antennx segmento quarto quam tertio subbreviori vel subequanti, 
nequaquam longiori ; elytra in parte humerali per dimidium costze 
carinata; ale abortivee; abdomen medio sat dilatatum, lateribus acute 
reflexis; segmentum anale breve, sat angustatum, transversum ; 
forcipis bracchia subcontigua, valida. 
This genus contains the single species described as 
Cosmiella aptera, Verhoeff, who, as we have seen, made a 
distinct genus for species of Opisthocosmia sensu lation, 
without visible wings; but this insect differs in structure 
from C. vebus, the type of Cosnviella. There seems to be no 
doubt that the insect described as Ancistrogaster javana, 
Borm., 1903, Ann. Mag. N. H. ser. 7, vol. xi, p. 266, is 
identical, and therefore falls in favour of Verhoeff’s prior 
name. It is a native of Java. 
The type is Cosmella aptera, Verhoeff, Zool. Anz. xxv, 
p. 195 (1902). 
Sub-family 9.—NEHOLOBOPHORINL. 
The species formerly included in Nelobophora, though 
evidently allied to Opisthocosmia, are nevertheless sufti- 
ciently distinct to merit a separate group. The Asiatic 
forms are undoubtedly generically distinct from the 
American species.
