and palpus. It was proposed by Mr. Warren, in lilt., as 

 Bracht/meria (noni. prajocc.) for flavilucens, Warr. Nov. 

 Zool. xii. p. S^? {Anapalta), but as I have drawn up the 

 characterization from sphyrophora, it is necessary to declare 

 that the type. The genus is well Avorth adopting, though its 

 characteristics are less extremely pronounced in costimaculata, 

 Warr. Nov. Zool. xiv. p. 223, and immixta, Dogn. Ann. Soc. 

 Ent. Belg. liii. p. 228, which should evidently be referred to 

 it, aud there will possibly be found troublesome connecting- 

 links.
