97. Genus ILITHUCIA STAL 



llithucia Stal, Bid. Hem. Syst. 552 (1867). 

 Electrophina Buckton, Trans. Linn. Soc. ZooL IX : 33i (igoS). 



Ciiaracters : This genus was erected by its author to accommodate Fairmaire's species morio and 

 separated from the preceding genus by the simple notation : « Parte anteriore tumida processus tho- 

 racis dorso haud sinuate; corio areolis discoidalis quatuor ». In the preceding paragraph of his table, 

 Stal described Antonte as having a strongly sinuate dorsum and three discoidal cells in the corium. 

 We have never seen a specimen of /. morio but Fairmaire's description of the species indicates that it 

 is a large brown and yellow insect with the sides of the pronotum deeply impressed, strong recurved 

 suprahumeral horns and free tegmina. 



Goding (1929^) believes that Buckton's Electrophina pacificata belongs to this genus and we are 

 willing to accept his judgment, although how he was able to be positive in this matter from Buckton's 

 figure and description is beyond our comprehension. 



7. morio has been mentioned onlj' five times in the literature of the family, has not been rede- 

 scribed since the original description, and has neverbeen figured. Pending a better knowledge of this 

 type species, we would conclude that Ililhucia should be recognized as a good genus and separated 

 from Antonie by the less sinuate dorsum and the four discoidal cells of the tegmina. 



Type morio Fairmaire. 



Geographicai distribution : We are recognizing the two above mentioned species with the 

 actual locality of pacificata questionable since Buckton locates it only by the expression « Coli. de 

 Pacifico ».

98. GENUS XOLONIA PLUMMER 



Xolonia Plummer, Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc. XLIII : 4. 377 (1935). 



Characters : Plummercorrectly places this genus as standing between Antona and Clepsydrius. 

 It differs from both in the very short, blunt suprahumerals and in the structure of the bulbous expan-
