Tribe Cef^haleliiii. 



This is only a small part of the tribe of this name in my first 

 memoir. It is restricted to those forms in which the tibiae are 

 very feebly bristly ; owing to a degradation of the flight organs, 

 the tegminal and wing venations are usually nuich reduced. In-

 subfcjiaceous. 



Cephalehis, Dorycephalus, Paradorydiiiiii, and others not 

 known to me in nature, as Dorydiella. belong to this tribe. 



Paradorydiiim.

 dark fuscous. Sternites (except the last segment which with the 

 genital segments is pallid) infuscate. Fore femora ringed with 

 fuscous. Vertex acute anteriorly, lateral margins straight, Frons 

 anterior to the antennae diamond-shaped, then the lateral margins
