A Callinoto differt clava anteuuarum afuniciilo distiucta; protJio- 

 race lobis ocularibus nullis ; et tihiis anticia haud unguiculatis. 

 To these characters it may be added that the second abdominal 

 segment is separated from the first by a strongly arched suture, 

 and the intercoxal process is broader and more truncate than in 

 CalUnotus. The femora are sharply toothed beneath. The type 

 is a small insect resembling CalUnotus Zetterstedtii, Boh., and is 

 one of the many discoveries of Mr. Bates.
