A genus distinguished by the milky-whito base of wings in 

 the malo and by tlie strong spines on the sixth abdominal 

 segment at sides. The females are not so easy to distinguish 

 from species of Asilus. 



Witli the exception of the well-known Euroj)ean Pampo- 

 neriis ijei'manicus, the genus so far appears conlined to the 

 Ceh'b(vs and iieiy:libourinir islands. 



I'ainponenis nigritiiliis, v, d. Wulp, from the i\roluccas, is 

 unrepresented in the collections I have had access to.
