176, ScTLAx MACRiNUS, Distant. 

 Scylax macrinus, Dist., Trans. Ent. Soc. p. 346, t. 12, f. 9 (1887).

 as suggested by Bergroth. 



Head elongated, with the sides nearly parallel, the apex nearly 

 square, the juga much longer than the tylus and meeting in front of it : 

 eyes rather small, globose ; ocelli small, placed near, but a little behind, 

 the eyes : antennge about a3 long as the head and pronotum, five- jointed ;

 third : rostrum long and slender, reaching the base of the abdomen •
