* This genus, recently described by Dr. Chapuis, is unknown to me; 

 but, judging from the brief characters given, it appears, without doubt, to 

 belong to the present group. 



f Dianchlchns hasa strongly serrulated hinder margin to thethorax, and, 

 therefore, must be removed from the division in which Dr. Chapuis has 

 placed it to the present one. 



I In the only specimen of the $ sex that I possess, the antenna; ai-e un- 

 fortunately broken, but, judging from the length of the remaining joint.s, 

 they are probably as long as, or even longer than, the body.
