Subfamily III. LOBOCEBATINJS. 



I propose this new subfamily for three remarkable genera which 

 will not accord well with any defined group, being intermediate be- 

 tween several. They resemble some of the Cimbicince (Perga, &c.) 

 in the absence of a discoidal cell ; the densely pubescent antennae 

 resemble Schizocerus, and the middle spurs connect them with Hylo- 

 toma ; while their general appearance is that of the typical Tenthre- 

 dinince.

(Plate YI. fig. 7.) 



Exp. al. 7 lin., long. corp. 3^- lin. 



Testaceous ; eyes, antennae (except basal joint), two longitudinal 

 spots on thorax above, extreme apex of abdomen beneath, and last 

 three joints of all the tarsi black. Wings hyaline, yellowish towards 

 the extremity of the fore wings ; costa yellow.

35. L0B0CERAS. 



Antennas 7-jointed, densely clothed with short diverging hairs, 

 which sometimes renders the divisions between the joints rather in- 

 distinct ; second joint shorter than the first, the third not much longer 

 than the fourth, and the remainder of nearly equal length ; the last 

 truncated and hollowed at the apex, giving them the appearance of 

 being broken off when viewed from beneath, but, if so, all the speci- 

 mens before me have been broken in the same manner, which is 

 improbable. Head large-, about as wide as thorax ; eyes large and 

 prominent ; thorax of the usual form, more or less deeply channelled ; 

 abdomen moderately long. Legs moderately long and thick ; hind coxae
