one to place it among the Araclidaj, Ijut Bergrotli ^ has given the whole 

 subject a most careful study and has again placed the genus in its proper 

 position among the Tessaratominse, creating a new division for it. 



I have examined most scrupulously the single specimen in our collection 

 and find the ocelli very conspicous. This feature alone would take the 

 genus out of Aradidae. 



A notable feature of the specimen collected in Palawan is the posses- 

 sion of a tri-articulate right antenna, that on the left being normal. I 

 have endeavored to give the exact features in the drawing, as a satisfactory 

 illustration of this insect has not yet appeared.
