A very isolated form ; but there can be no hesitation in placing 

 it near Dinorlwpala *, Pasc, notwithstanding the structural dif- 

 ference in the approximation of the intermediate and posterior 

 coxae, contrasted with their extreme remoteness in Dinorhopala, 

 as well as in Tachygonus, the only other members of the subfamily.
