280 Longicornia Maluyana. 



Paragnoma. 

 Paragnoma, Blanchard, Voy. au Pole Sud, iv. 298. 

 Characteres ut in Pelargodero, sed antennce baud elongatae, 

 pedes antici baud elongati, t'lbice muticae, et mesosternum 

 elevatum. 

 If these characters apply to the male the genus is perhaps a 

 good one ; otherwise the few specimens I have seen, as well as the 

 figure given by M, Blanchard, might very well pass for females 

 of a species of the previous genus. They are particularly like the 

 female of Pelargoderus Arouensis.
