Tepperi the ovipositor is protruded. The tegulae ai-e as in Plagio- 

 mimicus and allies ; they appear to stand off at the tips from the 

 thorax. In ornamentation there is a close similarity Avith Plagio- 

 niimicus pityochromus Grofe (of which Schinia 7nedia Morr. is 

 susi^ected to be a synonym) ; the color is very different, but the 

 style of ornamentation is the same ; there is a similarity in the 

 position of the lines and in the dark tri-angular spot crown- 

 ing the subtermiual space and inwardly limited by the costal angu- 

 lation of the t. p. line. In Schinia Huhi., of which genus Mr. 

 Grote had already proposed the type {trifascia), there is an absence 

 of the naked cup-like frontal jorojection which, in Flagiomiinicus, 

 extends beyond the mossy facial scales and is thus completely 

 exposed.
