Ulomides. 
Aniara, Lac. F. Bates, Ent. M. M. ix. p. 98, points out that Leconte pro- 
posed the name Eutochia for this genus in 1862, Aniara being preoccupied 
by Hope ; and that Cenoscelis, WolL, Amarus, Gemm., and Holaniara, 
Fairm., are therefore not required. The peculiarity in the labial palpi of 
Cenoscelis is only sexual : id. ibid., note.
