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 continental genera have hitherto been unpublished, I refrain from 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 Lamia, until a complete revision is made of the 

 Capricorn Insects.
