Nomapa, Fab. 
The same number of cubital cells, but the maxillary palpi are 
formed of six joints(1). 
Pasires, Jur.—Nomada, Fab. 
But two complete cubital cells. Their maxillary. palpi are quadri- 
articulated(2). 
The other Cuculine, in which the body is densely pilose in 
patches, the scutellum is often spinous, and where there are always 
three complete cubital cells, are removed from the preceding Apia- 
riz, and approximated to the following ones by the length of their 
paraglossz, or lateral divisions of the labium, which almost equals 
that of the labial palpi. 
Me ecta, Lat.—Crocisa, Jur. 
Where the maxillary palpi have five or six distinct joints(S). 
Crocisa, Jur. 
Where they have but three, and where the scutellum is prolonged 
and emarginated(4). 
Oxza, Klug.. 
Where the labrum forms a long square, and is not semi-oval as 
in the preceding subgenera, and where the maxillary palpi are want- 
ing, or at least reduced to one very small joint(5).

The genus described by Messrs Lepeletier and Serville, under the name of 
Moneca, belongs to the division of the solitary brush-footed Apiariz, but I have not 
yet been able to verify its characters. The mandibles are narrow, pointed and 
bidentated. The radial cell is appendiculated. Each of the second and third 
cubitals receives a recurrent nervure. The posterior tibie are terminated by two
