CYRTOCORYPHES, new genus 



This genus has the habitus of Honialotylus Mayr and agrees in 

 the general form of body, shape of head, and in the conformation of 

 the antennae, legs, and wings, but differs from it especially in the 

 essentially Ectromatine mandibles and abdomen and in other de- 

 tails. It is therefore really more closely related to the Ectroma 

 group of genera. In Mercet's tables it runs out at couplet 36, but 

 disregarding the postmarginal vein it would run fairly well to 

 Ectroma {Aglyptus Forster), from which it differs in having the 

 marginal vein shorter, the postmarginal shortly developed, the 

 mesoscutum without parapsidal lines, the axillae fus^^d with scutel- 

 lum, the differently shaped head with comparatively narrow vertex, 

 etc.
