In general aspect the insect resembles very much Brunner’s 
figure of his genus Rhicnoda (Rev. Orth., 1893, pl. 1, fig. 110), 
but is larger and the pronotum is crowdedly impressed punctate, a 
character otherwise attached to the American Phoraspine. From 
these it is, however, separated by all the remaining characteris- 
tics. Unlike the genuine Lpilampra, the hindmargin of the pro- 
notum is destitute of raised strie. Until more material is 
available and the wingless (?) female discovered its place must 
remain uncertain.

As pointed out by Mons. H. de Saussure (zn litteris), these 
insects have most affinity with the Panesthide, and are removed 
to their vicinity.

A female with egg-case attached and alive was received through 
Mr. T. Bee in February last. The egg-case is dark brown, nearly 
smooth, dull colored, and bean shaped, measuring 19x 7 x 8mm. 
The posterior part is suddenly cut off, the anterior end more 
acute. The crest is about 1 mm. in height, straight, and shows 
27 small but distinct teeth, besides two or three merely indi- 
cated, the case containing therefore about 30 ova. This is the 
first case seen and described.
