Family iv. LABIIDAB. 
This family has now been revised by me and split into 
several sub-families. 
The following is the arrangement of the sub-families repre- 
sented in India :— 
Table of Subfamilies. 
1. Head transverse, sutures very distinct, 
broad posteriorly, narrowed anteriorly ; 
eyes rather large and prominent, as long 
as, or longer than, the first antennal 
segmen ‘i - .. 1. Spongiphorinae. 
1. 1. Head narrow, more or less parallel-sided , 
the sutures nearly obsolete ; eyes smaller, 
scarcely longer than the first antennal 
segment ae ae .. 2. Labwinae. 
The distinction between these two groups, though well 
marked in the typical forms, is less marked in the Indian 
genera. . 
There are five other subfamilies, but these are not yet 
known to be represented in India.

_ The genus Spongiphora, Serv., is now restricted to afew 
South American forms. The subfamily Spongiphorinae is sepa- 
I, Subfamily SPONGIPHORINAE. 
This is mainly an American subfamily : it is characterized 
by the broad and depressed head, strong sutures and prom 
nent eyes. i a.
