S ¥. Very close to Eui/roserptnus and Frogerpinm, though dift'ereiit in aspiect 

 owing to the more woolly scaling. Antenna iwt clubbed, narrowed to base and 

 apex, very strongly compressed in cj, hook graduall}' curved aud narrowed, end- 

 segment elougate-triaiigular, broader basally than iu the allied genera. Palijus 

 short, not projecting. Armature ol' tibiae as in Euproserpinux, spines of foretibia 

 very long, apical thorn short ; no pnlvillus, paronychium vestigial. 



S . Sexual armature (of hicir/ics) as in I'roscrpinus ; tenth sternite rather 

 slenderer than in 1'. cbirkiae (PI. XLV. f. 4). Clasper elongate sole-shaped, 

 curved as in Pro&nrpinux ; harpe vestigial, represented by a tapering ridge as 

 iu F.fjaurae (PI. IL. f. lit). Penis-sheath with apical tooth as iu clarkiae. 

 Early stages not known ; most likely similar to those of Froaerpinus. 

 HaJj. Pacific district of Nearctic Region, southward to Ma/.atlan, AVest Mexico. 

 The similarity to '■'■ Boiiib;/i:idau " is ipiite superficial.
