much nearer to each other than to the apex of the segment, 

 behind the spiracles the segment broadens rapidly to the 

 apex ; second segment a little longer than its apical breadth ; 

 third twice as broad as long ; hypopygium short, not reaching 

 the apex of the abdomen. Hind legs long and rather stout ; 

 hind metatarsus as long as the four apical tarsal joints com- 

 bined ; ungues large, simple. Areolet very small, rectangular, 

 a little longer than high ; the second transverse cubital 

 nervure not developed, but represented by a faint cloud ; 

 nervulus prefurcal ;^ nervellus intercepted just below the 

 middle.

This genus was founded by Cameron in 1901 for a species 



from New Britain, and later he added species from New 

 Guinea and the Solomons. From these the present species 

 differs in details of colour and sculpture and in the presence 

 of an apical carina on the dorsal surface of the median seg- 

 ment. I have never taken a species of this genus in Australia, 

 but apparently Mesostenus physoscelus, Brulle, described from 

 Australia, should be placed here. I think Cameron was 

 probably correct in placing this genus in the Mesostenini, 

 though it is somewhat aberrant.
