Cincticornia n. g. 



ASPHONDYLIA H. Lw. 



Antennae with 14 cylindric, sessile segments, those of the 

 male only slightly reduced distally, with rather numerous low 

 strongly convolute circumfili. Palpi with one to three segments. 

 The terminal clasp segment of the male genitalia short, stout, 

 swollen near the middle, and apically with a heavy bidentate 

 chitinous process. The female antentiae are greatly reduced

 female, much enlarged. (Original) 



length scarcely greater than its diameter and the 14th subglo- 

 bose or even reduced to a small disk, the circumfili consisting of 

 a low band near the basal third or fourth, the branches produced 

 on one side and fused to form a longitudinal filum which unites 

 with a low apical circumfilum. Ovipositor with a distinct taper-
