The agreement between these specimens and Beoker's 

 description (III. p. 134) and figure of this Formosan species 

 is almost exact in all structural details ; they differ in being 

 larger (24 mm. as against 14, to 2 mm.) and in the fact that

CESTOPLECTUS *, gen. nov. 



Four specimens occur which cannot find place in any of 

 the present genera. 



Generic diagnosis. — Head as in figs. 22, 23, & 24, very 

 compressed axially, so that the horizontal breadth is about 

 three times the vertico-frontal distance and the depth in side- 

 view is nearly twice the axial breadth ; facial angle between 

 frontal and facial planes about 120°. Antenna (tig. 25) with 

 large reniform third joint and dorsal pubescent arista ; the 

 antennae are pressed sideways against the face. There is no 

 vertical triangle and no f.-o. bristles ; the head-bristles are 

 outer verticals, post-verticals, and small ocellar. The eyes 

 are very densely pubescent, almost hairy. 



The thorax is devoid of d.-c, and has one supra-alar and 

 two bristles on the notopleura just before wing-base, placed 



* So named from the face being flattened, as if try a blow.
