Igerna Kirk., Wien. ent. Zeit. xxii. p. 13 (1903), n. nom. 



Stal's name Pachynus was preoccupied, but its synonym Nehela Buch. White is 

 available, and Kirkaldy's new name is therefore not required. The genus is very 

 widely distributed, the type being from St Helena ; it is also found throughout tropical 

 Africa, and British India and Ceylon. Mr Hugh Scott found this genus very abundant 

 in the mountain-forests j it appears entirely confined to the endemic forest.
