Maskell, thougli somewhat doul)tful of its affinities, droi)ped Crawford's new genus and })laced it in the genus DadylopiKs. Cockerell, studying the species, took it as the type of Crawford's discarded genus, and included a munber of Mexican species. According to Newstead's description of Dactj/lopius hihermcus {Britisl Coccuke, vol. ii, |). 172), a rare species found upon grass, it probably comes into tliis In general fonu and structure the adult female is closely allied to that of the genus Dactylo'pius. the differences being that the joints of the antennae are more regular in form, with the last joint often distinctly rounded and of a uniforni shape. The legs are short and thickset. In most sjjecies the anal lobes are very small with a iuiinl)er of s^jines of a lance-headed form. The whole of the epidermis covered with circular orifices, many short rod-like processes, and short s])ines or hairs.
