Note. Add genera Dapsam ZIEGL., Trocho'ideum WESTWOOD, and some 

 other genera of this family here omitted. 



Tetramera and (Pseudotetramera.) 



Family XL VI. Clavipalpi. First three joints of tarsi spongy 

 neath, furnished with brushes of setae, third bilobed. Antennas 

 iform, or moniliform, capitate, short. Palps with last joint thick, 

 ody often gibbous, mostly oval, with thorax short, narrow an- 

 riorly, with head small. 



These insects (the club-palps) are very closely allied to the pre- 

 ceding, wherefore WESTWOOD places them in the division of the 

 Pseudotrimera as a third family. They appear to live on Fungi 

 (Agaricus, Boletus). The greatest number of species belongs to 

 South America. 



1* Maxillary palps malleiform, with last joint transverse, very large, re- 

 sembling a segment of a circle.
