The foregoing table to the genera of Monophlebinae has made 

 it necessary to change the position of certain of the species. The 

 following list gives their generic reference : 



Monoplebus Burm. This genus is limited to males, two species 

 of which, atripennis Burm., the type, of which only males are known, 

 and dubius Fabr., each have two pairs of lateral filaments on the abdo- 

 men, and a third, saundersii Westw., has four pairs of lateral fila- 

 ments. All these species are from the East Indies. The following 

 three species based upon females from Kilimanjaro, Africa, are re- 

 ferred to this genus by Newstead: sjostedti .Newst., pallidus Newst.. and 

 africana Newst. A single species, dugesi, from Mexico has been de- 

 scribed by Vayssiere. It is not likely that these latter species are 

 congeneric with the type of Monophlebus. 



Lilaveia Sign. There are eight species included in this genus, as 

 follows: axin Llave from Mexico on Spondias, Jatropha, mango; 

 bouvari Sign, from Guatemala; cacti Ckll. (not Linnaeus) from the
