The following notes on the Elidinje and AnthoboscinjB will, it is 

 hoped, facilitate the study of these neglected groups, the latter of 

 which especially has been very little understood by many aiithoi's, 

 who have touched on it merely as describers of new species, 

 Saussure alone having seriously studied the group. The best 

 work on the Elidinaj has been done by the same author, but the 

 material at his disposal was veiy limited. 



I am indebted to Dr.. Brauns, of Willowmore, S. Africa, for 

 valuable assistance with many carefully collected specimens. The 

 material available is still insufficient for a revision of the sj)ecies 

 of Myzine, as to which much confusion still exists. 



The species which I have not seen are marked with an asterisk.
