The systematic treatment of the family may be seen from the following 
abridged Table (/. c. pp. 20-22) : — 
I. Metasternum broad, L-ansverse; posterior coxal lamime of moderate 
size j tarsi shorter than tibiie. 
A. Propectus developed in front of anterior coxie ; tarsi with lamella). 
(Tribe I. Dascillites.) 1. JDascillus ^ (Lat.). 
B, Propectus perpendicular, forming only a slender border beyond the 
anterior coxa) j tarsi without lamella). (Tribe II. Cyphonites.) 
1. Femora simple j posterior coxal lamina) more or less obconic within j 
joint 4 of tarsi bilobed. 
a. Last joint of max. palpi as long as preceding j last joint of tarsi 
small. 
' * Posterior coxal lamina) much and subconically produced 
within. 
a. Joints 2 and 3 of anteuinc small ; joints 1 and 2 of posterior 
tarsi produced within into acute teeth, 1 very long. 
2. llclodes (Lat.). 
/3. Joints 2 and 3 of antenna) moderate ; joints 1 and 2 of pos- 
terior tarsi simple, 1 shorter than the remainder together. 
3. Microcara (Thoms.). 
t Posterior coxal lamina) slightly and shortly obconic within. 
a. Antenna) serrated, joint 1 dilated into an auricle within. 
4. IVionocyphon (Bedt.). 
/3. Antoniuo slender, filiform .... 5. Cyphim (Paylc.). 
b. Last joint of max. palpi small, short, conical; last joint of tarsi 
at least as long as the three preceding united. 
0. Ilydrocyphon (Bedt.). 
2. Legs ambulatory ; posterior coxal lamina) slightly dilated within ; 
joint 4 of tarsi simple 7. Eiibria (Bedt.). 
3. Femora stout, posterior dilated, saltatory ; posterior coxal lamina) 
dilated within into a small square ; joint 4 of tarsi bilobed. 
8. Soirics (111.). 
II. Posterior coxal lamina) very large ; at least six ventral segments ; tarsi 
longer than tibiic. (Tribe III. Euctnetites.) 
9. E%icinetus (Germ.). 
Petalon. Bedteubacher (Beise der Novara, Zool. ii. Col. p. 97) remarks 
upon the distinctive characters of this genus. 
Parelodes, g. n. Bedteubacher, 1. c. p. 98. Allied to Cyj^hon and Eludes, 
but more elongated, and differing in the structure of the mouth and sternum. 
Sp. P. mollis, sp. n., Bedt. 1. c. p. 99, Ceylon. 
^ Tournier (/. c. pp. 91-93) characterizes Ilampe’s Psezidodactyhis cribratus, 
which, he says, approaches Dasdllus most closely, and has, contrary to Ilampe’s 
statement, five joints in the tarsi.
