An ingenious and speculative essay. The genus Amphientomum , Hag., 
is considered the earliest representative of the Psocidiv (according to 
materials discovered). The Atropina are degenerative. The imago 
state of the older groups corresponds with the nymph-stage of the 
younger, and vice versa, according to the laws of Ontogeny. A 
multitude of minute characters are given in support of the author’s 
theory. The family is divided into three “ Sections ” : — i. Progenesia 
(subdivided into the “tribes” Neurosemini, Calopsocini, Perientomini, 
Polypsocini , Dypsocini , Cceciliini , Hemipsocini , and Stenopsocini ) ; ii. Holo- 
phania, with, for tribes Thyrsophorini , Psocini , Elipsocini , Peripsocini , 
and Bertkauiini ) ; iii. Epistantia (with the tribes Psoquillini, Troctini, 
and Atropini).
