Genus Phaciocephalt's Kirk. 



T'ntil Iho types of Phaciocephalus Kirk, and Cenchrea 

 Westw. are e(ini|)arcd there must be some doubt as to the dis- 

 tinct ion of these two genera. C. dorsalis Westw. is described 

 and figured as having the subcostal cell short whereas in Pha- 

 ciocephalus it is long. I shall retain for the present the name 

 PhacioccphaJius Kirk, for those foi-nis having the subcostal cell 

 long.
