Note. — The following genera to Heteropare will form a sub- 

 family for which the name Chalcosiida is proposed. They are dis- 

 tinguished by the convex or conical and prominent front, by the 

 metallic-coloured antennas, by the minute palpi, by the slender legs, 

 and by the hind tibiae with only two minute apical spurs.
