lucidus the length of the fourth antennal segment is slightly 
greater than the width of the pronotum (85:80) whereas 
in pallidus the antennal length is considerably less (60 :80) . 
This is the only known occurrence of marked brachyptery 
in the genus Pamphantus, although both Abpamphantus 
and Parapamphantus were described from brachypterous 
specimens. In fact the non-spinous fore femora (unique 
in the genus) and the presence of a median vertex carina 
are suggestive of Parapamphantus. However, in most re- 
spects the species is related to Pamphantus. There seems 
to be little value in establishing an additional genus for 
the species at the present time when a moderate expansion 
of the present generic concept of Pamphantus will prob- 
ably more accurately reflect the systematic picture. 
The posteriorly curving fourth and fifth abdominal 
tergites support the geocorine relationship of the pam- 
phantines as noted by Barber & Bruner. 
The brachypterous paratype has the right antenna 
missing and the left is oligomerous with three segments 
present.
