Gren. EucYCLODES, Warr. 



I am unable to agree with Mr. Prout in separating all 

 the species except hwprestaria to form his new genus 

 Aniaozyga, for buprestaria is closely allied to them, the slight 

 structural differences being merely specific. Mono-specific 

 genera should only be mad© for species isolated by consider- 

 able structural peculiarity ; on the other hand, comparatively 

 slight structural characters, if definite and constant, may be 

 useful in separating two nearly related groups of species. 



EucYCLODEs DENTATA, Warr. 



I now regard this as merely a female aberration of E. 

 pieroides, Wlk.
