Genus I. DACNODES, Burr. 



There is nothing to add to the remarks on this genus in an 

 earlier [taper in But. Month. Mag. (2) xviii. p. GO (1U07). 



Genus II. TAGALINA, Dohin. 



This genus seems to be rare; it is well characterized by 

 the remarkable form of the tarsi. The two species arc probably 

 mere colour- varieties; one was redescribed and figured by n,c 

 in 1902 (Termes. Fliz. xxv. p. 477, pi. xx. fig. 1, $ . 



Genus HI. Pygidicrana, Serv. 



This genus is now restricted to the forms which approach 

 the P. mar moricr ura, Serv. it is confined to the species in 

 which the scutellum is small, the organs of flight will 

 developed, the pronotum oval and nearly round, and the 

 penultimate ventral segment of the male broad and rounded. 



Even in this restricted sense it retains the majority of the 

 species and is represented in all tropical regions of the world. 



The type is P. v-nigrum, Serv.
