Brauer (Verh. zool.-bot. GeS. in Wien, xvii. pp. 281-286) remarks that 
he was mistaken in identifying Drepanicus (Blanch.) with Trichoscplia 
(Westw.). He now regards it as a distinct genus, which he characterizes 
(1. c. p. 282), and which he considers to form the true transition from Man- 
tispa towards Ilemerohius and Chrysopa. To the genus as characterized 
Braiior refers Mantispa biseriata (Westw.) from Moroton Bay, JD, gayi 
(Blanch.), and a supposed new species from Chili.
