I have not met with the Genus Aphetea, Fowler, but he figures A. inconspicua, in the B.C.A. 
Tab. VI. figs. 25 and 26, $ and ? , p. 95. 
Genus : CLEPSYDRIUS, Fowler. 
This genus is related to Parontonae, and also to Hypamastris. 
One species C. constridus is also figured in the B.C.A. Tab. VII. fig. 1, p. 95. 
Genus : CYPHONIA, Laporte. 
Laporte (1832). Fairm. l.c. p. 501. Fowler, l.c. p. 96. 
Stab has subdivided this original genus, and has placed the greater number of 
species into his genus Poppea. 
Cyphonia may be known by the presence of two upright, blunt spines on the 
back of the pronotum above the shoulders which are not found in Poppea. 
The neuration of the tegmina is very similar to that of the larger genus Ceresa, 
but the latter does not develop the remarkable globular masses in connection with 
the spines of the pronotum. 
The insects are small but they are very strange and abnormal in form.
