21. Epitelia. (Plate lY. figs. 11, 12.) 

 Type Chahis stylata, Walk. Joiirn. Eut. i. p. 183 (1861), from 

 Ega. 



Antennse 13-jointed, iuserted just below the eyes, much stouter 

 than in Phasgonophora, scape at tip and the short second and 

 third joints bare, the rest pubescent, apical joint conical ; abdo- 

 men sessile, much shorter and stouter than in Phasgonophora ; 

 stylus about equal in length to the remainder of the abdomen ; 

 scutellum very slightly bidentate ; metathorax unarmed ; hind 

 femora and tibiae with numerous depressed punctures, the former 

 apparently armed with rather large teetb. 



22. Megalocolus. (Plate IV. figs. 13-15.) 

 Type Halticella ditcator, Walk. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond, (3), i. 

 p. 357 (1862). 



Antenuge thick, pubescent, 12-jointed, inserted in the middle 

 of the face, scape long, second joint short cup-shaped, third 

 joint short, appearing like the base of a long fourth joint, the 

 remainder of about equal length, the last conical ; end of scape, 

 second, and third joints bare, the rest pubescent ; head and thorax 

 coarsely scabrous; sutures of the mesothorax obsolete; scutellum 

 terminatiug in a raised bidentate plate behind ; metathorax very 

 hairy, with two very prominent projections on each side ; abdo- 

 men subpetiolate, the first segment fully half the length of the 

 remainder ; in the female it terminates in a long stylus set with 

 bristles, and about as long again as the abdomen itself ; segments 

 of the abdomen fringed behind with short pale hairs, most visible 

 on the sides ; hind coxge with a leaf-like projection on the upper 

 side ; hind femora swollen, regularly dentated beneath. 



Several s]Deeies of this very distinct group were described by 

 Walker under Halticella in Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. (3) i. (1862), 

 but stood in the British-Museum collection under PhasgonojpTiora. 

 These are : — H. ducator, Walk. (Amboina) ; ensator, Walk. 

 (=tentator, AValk.), Sarawak and Singapore; ^rojjemtor, Walk. 

 (Java) ; signator, Walk. (Java) ; notator, Walk, {motator, err. 

 impr.), Sarawak; ^^n^ gladiator,'^ vtW. (Sarawak). Several other 

 species fi'om similar localities described by Walker from the 

 Saundersian collection will probably also fall into this genus. 



23. PsEUDOCHALCis. (Plate IV. fig. 16.) 

 Type Halticella declarator, Walk. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. (3) i. 

 p. 360 (1862), from Ega.
