232 My. J. O. Westwood’s Descriptions, ge. 
genus can scarcely be distinguished from Onthocharis, as the Berlin 
Collection possesses a series of species in which a gradual transition 
is found in the hinder tarsi, from the broadest form (as in 4. vires- 
cens), to their narrow condition, as existing in O. myrmidon. With 
the insects before me, I prefer retaining the group as a provisional 
subgenus. |
