LIZ INSECTA. 
Beryta, Cinetus, Jur. 
Where the antennz are composed of fourteen or fifteen joints; they 
are filiform in the males, more granose and thicker near the end in 
the females(1). 
The other Oxiuri have neither cells, nor brachial, nor basilary 
nervures. 
These have their antennz inserted on the forehead. 
Drapria, Lat.—Psilus, Jur. 
No cell whatever in the wings. The maxillary palpi are salient, 
and the antennz have fourteen joints in the males, or twelve in the 
females(2). 
In those they are inserted near the mouth. 
CrRAPHRON, Jur. Lat. 
Wings furnished with a radial cell; the maxillary palpi salient; 
the antennz filiform in both sexes, and consisting of eleven joints; 
abdomen ovoido-conical(3). 
SPARASION, Lat. 
Similar to Ceraphron in the radial cell, and the projection of the 
maxillary palpi; but the antenne have twelve joints in both sexes, 
are thickest at the extremity or clavate in the females, and the abdo- 
men is flattened(4). 
Then follow two subgenera also provided with a radial cell, and 
in which the antennz, as in Sparasion, are thickest at the end or 
clavate in the females, and where the abdomen is flattened; but the 
palpi are very short and do not project, or are not pendent.
