I have pleasure in dedicating this genus and s]xcies to my 

 friend and colleague. 



Tribe Penthiniiini. 

 (=rGyponidae auctt.) 



I can find no gocd characters to separate tliis tribe. It runs 

 irsto the Tetigo.niini via Ei'acanf/nis, into the Phrynomorphini 

 via ErrJwincnelhis and Chinsinus ; its forms are usually less elong- 

 ate, and the ocelli are usually on the disk of the vertex, but sit- 

 uated in front of a line drawn between the anterior margin of the 

 eyes ; this is however not the case in some species at present 

 attributed to Gypona. 



The following genera arc T believe all that have been described ; 



I The head dorsally with a large suboval ar, a separated off 

 anteriorly by a deeply impressed line. .1 Ectopiocephaliis 



1 a Head dorsally without a part separated ofif (2) 



2 Tegrnina very short, venation obscure (3) 



2a Tegrnina reat^hing at least as far as the base of the genital 



segment, fully formed (4) 



3 Clypeus extending well beyond the apical margin of the 



genae. longer than half the length, of the frons 



2 Errhomenellus 



3a Clypeus extending only as far as the apical margin of the 

 genae, not longer than half the frons 3 Chiasmus
