Dallas included Fhyllocephala, Lap., Dalsira, Am. & Serv., Schizops, 

 ■Spinola, and Basioryptus, Herr. SchafE., in his genus Fhyllocephala. 

 The three last occur in India and near them lies Oonopsis : they may be 

 thus differentiated : — 



1- 6. Pectus without a levigate streak near the coxaa. 



2- 5. Scutellum without a flavescent, continued streak. 



3- 4. Costal margin not, unless anterioi'ly, levigate or sparingly 

 punctate : — Dalsira. 



4- 3. Costal margin of corium entirely pale, levigate and smoothish , 

 sometimes marked by transverse spots or impressions, or by black points 

 arranged in remote transverse rows ; — Basioryptus.
