60 Mr. E. McLachlan on 



The plate accompanpng this synopsis gives figures of 

 each species^ with the most general arrangement of the 

 markings^ and also enlarged outlines of the terminal 

 segments of the male abdomen and aj)pendices. 



In conclusion, I express my thanks to Baron de Selys 

 Longchamps, and Chevalier Victor Ghiliani, for their 

 liberal gift and loan of examples, without which aid this 

 work could not have been attempted.
