283. GENUS GODDEFROYINELLA DlSTANT 



Goddefpoyinella Distant, Rhynch. Notes 22 (1916). 



Characteps : The geographical distribution of this genus would indicate that it is probabl}- 

 distinct from Xiphistes to which it is undoubtedly very closely related, but the only character which 

 could be considered as of generic value would be the reticulated apical area of the tegmina. 



Distant limits his generic description to one sentence as follows : 



(! AUied to Xiphistes, but differing in the moie robust and regularly convex pronotal 

 process and the reticulated tegminal area. « 



The original description of the type species would fit, in a general way, ahnost any species of 

 Xiphistes except for the irregular wing venation and gives no assistance in the formulation of a more 

 complete generic description. 



The single species of the genus has not been mentioned in the literature of the family since its 

 original description and so far as we know has never been recognized. Neither has any other species 

 been added to the genus. We have not seen the type species and can therefore do 110 more than to 

 recognize the genus on the basis of the multicellular corium and place it next to Xiphistes in our list. 



Type indicans Distant. 



Geogpaphical distpibution : This genus is known only from the type species from Australia.

Ghapacters : This is a very remarkable and apparentlj- a very rare genu.s, characterized by a 

 greatly swollen, laterally branched anterior dorsal process and a posterior process which is elevated to 

 form a high, flattened, foliaceous plate. Head foliaceous, triangular, longer than wide, roughly sculp- 

 tured; base irregularly rounded; eyes globular; ocelli large, prominent, much farther from each other 

 than from liie eyes and situated well above an imaginar}' line drawn through centers of eyes; maigins of
