will need a genus of its own but a decision on this will have to await study of the 

 world Striglina species.

Material examined. 



Holotype $ (nigranalis) ; Warren, in his publication, gives the type locality as 

 "Agberi" [Nigeria], but the specimen with the Warren type label is from Oguta 

 [Nigeria]. No specimens of this species have been found with "Agberi" on the label 

 and the type is here regarded as Nigeria; Oguta (Ansorge), i8.vii.[io.]oi, BM slide 

 no. 8289, in BMNH. Holotype $ (monotonicata) , Rio Muni: [Spanish Guinea], 

 Alen, Benitogebiet, i-5.x.[ic)]o6 (Tessmann) , in ZMB. Holotype $ (lenistrialis) ,

SICULINAE 



The characteristics of this subfamily are given on page 16. The subfamily is 

 divided here into two tribes (Rhodoneurini, Opulini) based on the presence or 

 absence of spines on the tarsal segments. 



Tarsi with apical pair of spines on each segment . RHODONEURINI (p. 84) 



Tarsi without spines ....... OPULINI (p. 106) 



Occasionally species are found where there are spines on the last hind tarsal 

 segment but the other segments are without spines; these species are treated as 

 being in the Opulini. One anomalous species, C. palairantus, which has spines, is 

 placed in the Opulini for reasons given on page 136. 



RHODONEURINI 



This tribe is separated from the Opulini by the presence of an apical pair of spines 

 on each tarsal segment.
