(Type if. nifcuviiiH Westw.) 



Head rounded, a little oblong, with ;> frontal tubercle; eyes roun<led; 

 ocelli subobsolete. 



Anteunie 10-Jointed, as long as the body, cylindric and filiform, the 

 scape as long as the head and longer than the first flagellar Joint. 



Maxillary i>alpi 3 Jointed; labial palpi 2-Jointed. 



Wings iu 9 rudimentary or wanting, the S unknown but probably 

 winged. 



Abdomen ovate, much longer that the thorax. 



Legs thick, tluj jwsterior pair long. 



A very rare genus, so far only known from I'^uiope, an<l I have been 

 unable to obtain si)ecimens for examination. There is a slight dis 

 crepancy between Westwood and Forster in the description of the 

 ocelli. The former says " without ocelli," the latter that " die Nebenau- 

 gen sind sehr kleiu." Nothing is known of the habits of the genus and 

 the male is still to be discovered. 



The name given to it by Westwood was changed by Forster on ac- 

 couut of its being preoccupied in Diptera.
