This singularly-formed insect was captured in Assam by Mr. Griffith, and 

 appears to be undescribed as far as I have had an opportunity of obtaining 

 intelligence : respecting its habits little is known, and it seems doubtful with 

 what family it is to be associated ; for the present it is arranged with the Z//- 

 gœnidœ. It is probable that it ought to be arranged with the Lithosiadœ.
