Notes on Table. 



A. Their lateral slopes are curious; see notes under 

 nequalis. 



F. Their hind tibiae are w^ider at apex than elsewhere, 

 1but the increase in width is almost regular from about the 

 apical third. On FF. the tibiae are suddenly dilated there, 

 the outer apex appearing almost equilaterally triangular,

This species is the type of Afjetinus (Ar/f^fKs, n. pr . of 

 Chapuis) ; the sides of the prothorax were described by 

 Chapuis as "dilates arrondis au milieu, ondules-anguleux" ; 

 hy Lefevre they were stated to be "in medio ampliato- 

 rotundatus, ibique angulato-undulatus." The genus belongs 

 to the Colaspitae, tabulated by Lefevre as having prothorax 

 "with sides more or less dentate or undulated," as against 

 ^ 'sides entire" of Ipheimeitae. 



There are in the Museum several specimens identified by 

 IslLv. Blackburn as suhcostatus, and one received by him from 

 T)y. Chapuis as a co-tjpe. This latter specimen agrees well
