 consists. The form of the clypeus is the most conspicuous of 

 these. It is produced considerably beyond the mouth, angular

 and thorax being thickly pitted with setiferous punctures and 

 showing no trace of striae or costae. 



Spathoschiza debilis is a small and very narrow insect of 

 pale colour, the prothorax being slightly and the head con-
