 guished by the head being sunk in the thorax as far as the eyes. Species are known 







from North, Temperate, and Tropical America, Egypt, and India.

The following species differs in the eyes being distant from the thorax, owing to the 





















length and width of the posterior part of the head; but the anterior angles of the 

 thorax embrace closely the sides of the neck, and the species resembles Lymnastis in 







general form.
