LAGRIIDAE. 



Egestriomima, n. gen. 



Head oblong-subquadrate, abruptly constricted into a short neck 

 behind, the anterior portion short and obliquely narrowed, the 

 epistoma confused with the front ; labium prominent, transverse ; 

 eyes finely facetted, distant from one another and from the base of 

 the head, feebly sinuate in front, oblique as seen in profile ; terminal 

 joint of maxillary palpi long, cultriform, that of the labial palpi 

 small, oval, obliquely truncate at tip; antennae slender, the ter- 

 minal joint not elongated ; prothorax long, constricted into a short 

 neck in front, and transversely grooved within the basal margin; 

 scutellum triangular; elytra elongate, confusedly punctate ; anterior 

 coxae large, conical, contiguous, the cavities rather broadly closed 

 behind by the inward extension of the prothoracic epimera; inter- 

 mediate coxae well separated; ventral segments 1-5 subequal in 

 length; legs long, rather slender; tibiae with short strong spurs; 

 penultimate tarsal joint bilobed, the claws long, simple; body 

 elongate, narrow, villose and setose. 



Type, Egeslria albilineata, Carter. 



This genus includes an insect agreeing with the descrip- 

 tion of the species selected as the type and an allied form, 

 both Australian. E. albilineata superficially resembles the 

 type of Egestria, E. taeniata, Pasc, from Queensland; but 

 the former has the anterior acetabula completely closed 

 behind, and it must therefore be transferred to Lagriidae. 

 The head, moreover, is longer than in any of the Pedilids 

 known to me, and the eyes are placed far from the base.
