With the following exception no accessions to this family have 

 apparently been published since the seventy-four species which 

 are noticed in the British Museum Catalogue. 



The genus Panops was then hardly known in England. Both 

 sexes of P. Baudini are now in Mr. Saunders's collection ; the ab- 

 domen of the male is almost entirely black, and its antennae are 

 about twice the length of those of the female.

 Ent. Zeit. Stett. xvii. 339, has described the following new genera 

 and species of this family : —
