bix examples. This species has the general faeies of a 

 Dasytes, from which it is readily distinguished by the 

 cmarginate eyes, a character bringing I. dasytoides into the 

 *' I'rionocerides ' of Lacordaire. In the absence of the male, 

 it can remain under Jdyia for the present, the Chinese 

 I. jhivivostris, Pasc, having similar tarsal claws, slender 

 legs and antcnnte, a small head, &c.
