Elacatis, Pascoe, originally referred by its author to the Mdandryidcc, is 
identical with the posterior Othnius of Leconte. Pascoe agrees with the 
latter in placing it near the Cryptophagido', as a distinct family, for which he

rican spp. appear to be heteromerous in both sexes: Horn, Tr. Am. Ent.
