posterior margin of pronotum ; in some cases these are continued 

 along the hind edge to the lateral margins, which are curved and 

 form a chamber — the "antennal chamber" — behind the antennae ; 

 the "subantennal process" is a flange, or plate, on the gena below 

 the antenna. 



All measurements are taken from apex of head to anus and 

 from apex to base of one tegmen. 



My thanks are due to Prof. C. F. Baker for the loan of his 

 collection and for the gift of many specimens, including types; 

 to Prof. C. S. Banks for allowing me to work over the collection 

 of the Bureau of Science and for gifts of specimens; and to 

 the dean and the faculty of the College of Agriculture, University 

 of the Philippines, for their help and hospitality during my stay 

 in the Philippine Islands, while studying the parasites of cer- 

 tain lamellicorn beetles. 



Types, when not otherwise stated, will be deposited in the 

 collection of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association, Honolulu, 

 Hawaii, which already contains nearly a third of the types of 

 this family.
