The present species differs fr(3ni the only other described 
si)ecies by its long antenn?e. and the presence of a subdiscoidal 
vein in the wing. 
I think it undoubtedly belongs to Ashniead's genus Phorbas, 
although it will not run to it in KiefFer's recent table (Genera 
Insectorum Fascicle 54, p. 12, 1907). He has placed Phorbas 
in his sub-family Dryinin^e, characterized by the short pronotum 
whicli does not attain the tegulae on the sides. Ashniead, in his 
diagnosis of Phorbas, says, ''Thorax as in Aphelopus, but with- 
out distinct parapsidal furrows, the prothorax only slightly visible 
from above." In Aphelopus the prothorax attains the tegulae. 
I think, therefore, that Kieffer has incorrectly placed the genus, 
and that it undoubtedly falls near Labco. It seems probable to 
me also that Perkins' Bukolbclcia is a synonym of Phorbas.
