Subfam. : Trichiurinae. 

 Tribe : Trichiurldi. 

 The genus Trichiura appears to be practically isolated from any other 

 Palaearctic Lachneid genus. Kirby, in his Catalogue, p. 837, unites in 

 the same genus khasi ana, Moore, aMaria,~DYVLCQ,obscura, Walk., and ?albi- 

 plaga, Walk. , whilst in the British Museum coll. , khasiana, Moore, and obso- 

 leta, Kl. (a species from Cairo) are placed with crataegi under this title. We 

 are unable to detect any real connection between these three species, and 

 consider (after making all due allowance for the vagaries resulting from 

 protective resemblance) that the species are all widely apart, and that 

 the two exotic species are possibly not even Trichiurids. On the other 

 hand, the Chilian species placed under Macromphalia, Feld. — dedecora, 

 Phil., chilensis, Feld., and purissima, Butl. — have a very distinct 

 Trichiurid facies, although possibly, when the early stages are known, 

 it may be proved that they really have no very definite relationship. To 

 us, the Trichiurids appear to form a terminal Lachneid branch, with 

 possibly but two genera, each represented by a single species, viz., 

 AcJnwccuiijKi (ilicis), and Trichiura (crataegi).
