In his observations upon the genus, Mr Curtis speaks of th sexes, but in his description he is silent as to any sexual variation in the antenna, abdomen, The Stylops tenuicornis of Kirby is evidently, as the specific name at once suggests, the type of this genus, if, indeed, it be not tlie same species as the Elenchus Walker.

When it is re- membered that Mr Kirbys specimen was found in a cobveb, aTlowance must be made for his insufficient description, but he expressly notices its small size, slender antennae, and sub- sessile eyes.
