The genus Cladonotus, Saussure, and its allies. 



A study of the genus Cladonotus, Saussure, based on 

 material in hand as well as the described species, would 

 indicate that members of three genera are included within 

 the genus as interpreted by Bolivar, that is taking the 

 species in his " Essai " * and those described since the 

 latter was published. These groups are presented in 

 the following diagnostic table : 



1. Pronotum bearing a ramose process or 

 crest, the front margin produced over 



the head, frontal facial scutelhim [notus, Saussure. 



widely concave between the antennae I, Type genus Clado- 

 A. Pronotal ramose process nearly 

 vertical, bimarginate-serru- 



late behind C. latiramus, Hancock. 



A. A. Pronotal ramose process 

 distinctly curved for- 

 ward, extending forwai'd [sure, 

 beyond the head ... (7. humbertianus, Saus- 

 A.A.A. Pronotal crest bifid, 

 undulate, denticu- 

 late at the summit . C. echinatits, St^l. 

 l.l. Pronotum destitute of ramose 

 process, but often gibbose, or 



cristulatef 



2. Lateral lobes of pronotum having 

 the posterior angles somewhat 

 smoothly laminate, obliquely trun- 

 cate, the apices rounded, not at all 

 armed
