This will probably form the type of a new genus. 



Subfamily Agalliinae. 



(Bythoscopidae of many authors.) 



I have retained this subfamily for the sake of convenience but 

 1 cannot see any good characters by which it can be separated 

 from the lassinae, especially from such forms as Tartcssns etc., 

 the position of the ocelli being so slightly dififerent. 



The nomenclature is horribly confused, all authors up to 1900 

 (v/hen T pointed the fact out) having ignored Lewis' fixation of 

 lanio as the type of Bythoscopus. 



The following is the synonymy of several vexed genera : 

 T. Bythoscopus Germar, type lanio fLinn.) Lewis. 

 Macropsis auct. nee Lewis. 



Batrachomorpluis Lewis, tvpe in-orafa {^=imicroccphala) 

 Stragania Stal. ("placed liy Fowler among the Gyponina?^) 

 Pachyopsis Uhler. 

 Gargaropsis Fowler. 



2. Oncopsis Burmeister, type HaincoUis (Linn.) Westwood, 

 Macropsis (B) Lewis. 



Bythoscopus auctt. 



3. Macropsis (A) Lewis, type virescens (Fabr.) Westwood. 



subg. Pediopsis Burmeister, type filiac Burm. 



Tribe AgalHini. 

 Epipsychidion gen. nov. 



Forms a sort of link 1)etween the Agalliinae proper, and the 

 lassinae as represented by Tartcssns ; it is here placed in the 

 former as the ocelli are ventral though not very distinctly. 



Vertex dorsally very short, anteriorly obtuse-angled, pos-
