* In Gr. riifoterminalis, n. sp., Gr. distortus, n. sp., and in several 

 other species to a less noticeable extent the prothoracic margins are 

 suddenly constricted close to the apex so that the anterior angles 

 Ijroject strongly outwards as in some species of Schizostemus, but the 

 margins otherwise are entire. Ga. stratioticus, Chp., is referred here, 

 as Chapuis describes the margin as " integro " ; on close examination, 

 however, of the specimen before me the margin is seen to be very 

 feebly sinuous in places, but this would be overlooked except on a 

 very close examination and from most directions. In most of the 

 species the margins are feebly incurved in one or two places. 



t In all of these species also the scutellum is either entire or just 

 perceptibly notched.
