Habitat—New Holland (Serville); Brazil (Burmeister, 
Geneva Museum). Serville’s location of this species is possibly a 
mistake ; it may, however, occur in some of the Pacific Islands, 
whence specimens may have found their way into the hands of 
Australian collectors, and through them reached the great 
French” entomologist. The doubt requires to be cleared up, 
hence the species is inserted here. 
D. Group PSYRAL (Br. Mon. 19, 158). | 
Vertex flat or tumid, not spined. Fore tibize with conchate 
foramina in front and open ones behind. Elytra mostly of 
leathery texture and more or less subhyaline, radial veins contig- 
uous, transverse veinlets much raised. Ovipositor longer, or as 
long as the pronotum, compressed, slender, gradually incurved, 
apex gradually acuminate, at the base roundly tumescent, 
margins crenulate or serrulate towards the tip, or rarely un- 
armed. Subgenital lamina with or without free styles. 
The group is chiefly of Asiatic habitat, a few genera belonging 
to Africa, some species to the Sunda Islands, and one to New 
Guinea.

serted. Mesosternal lobes triangular, metasternal rounded.
