M. Guérin-Meneville, in the work quoted above, has also de- 
scribed an insect closely allied to Purastasia, possessing however 
simple and equal claws to all the tarsi. The following are the 
characters of this section or subgenus. 
BaryMorpPHA, Guérin. 
“ Corps court, épais, presque globuleux. Chaperon bidenté, a 
dents relevées. Antennes de dix articles. Mandibules a 
sommet bilobé. Machoires armées de six fortes dents ou 
épines arquées. Pattes courtes, jambes antérieures épaisses, 
un peu aplaties, armées de trois dents 4 l’extremité. Tarses 
courts, assez gréles, a dernier article beaucoup plus court 
que les quatre précédents, avec les crochets plus courts que 
cet article, egaux arqués et simples.”,
