There are several species of this genus, from different parts of 

 South America, in the British Museum. Chirocerus furcatus, 

 Brulle (Ins. Hym. pi. xxxA'iii. figs. 5, 5 a, h, 1846), seems to me 

 to agree better with TJioracantha atrata, "Walk. (Traus. Ent. Soc. 

 (3) i. p. 383, 1862), than with tbe Eabrician species.

Although Latreille specified no type, yet bis description clearly 

 indicates tbis genus ; moreover, T. Latreillii was figured and de- 

 scribed as a Thoracantha before any otber species to which the 

 generic name could apply.
