' This specimen agrees with the figure, except that the four anterior femora 

 are black. Philippi'a figure (as observed by Prof. Westwood) seems also to re- 



E resent a male. Philippi states that the male of Brachyxiphus was unknown to 

 im ; but this remark probably applied onlv to B. grandis.
