CRANTEROPHORUS (gen. nov.). 
Caput modicum antice modice elongatum ; labrum emarginatum ; 
mandibule ad apicem bispinose ; labium fortiter transver- 
sum antice emarginatum (partis emarginatz angulis externis 
spiniformibus); palpi maxillares modici, articulo ultimo

Type Mycella clavicornis, Blackb. 
In describing the species for which I propose this new name I 
referred it doubtfully to Mycella remarking that the structure of 
its tarsi is not consistent with a placein that genus. I have since 
obtained more specimens and have been able to make a proper 
examination with the result that I find it must stand as the type 
of.a new genus. The internal dilatation and angulation of the 
joints nine and ten of its antennze together with the lateral 
angulation of its mentum suggest alliance with the South Ameri- 
can Epipocus which it considerably resembles in facies. In Dr. 
Chapius’ tabulation of his groups of Hndomychide its characters 
place it in the Lpipocites. In his tabulation of the genera of that 
Groupe it stands beside Zpipocus from which it is separated inter 
alia by the strong basal sulcus of its prothorax.
