Sclavnobius differs from Sdrpoplia- 
ga in the length of the labial palpi, 
which exceeds that of the thorax; 
from (Hi Ho in the shortness of the 
female’s antennae, the thick anal tuft, 
the longer hind legs, the want of a 
comb ; from Anchi/lnmia, in the 
absence of marks on the wings 
before the hind border in addition to 
the marginal dots, and in the hind 
margin, which is entire, not incurved 
before the tip.
