longitudinali instructo, in mare oculo parum latiore, clypeo 

 leviter prominente, a fronte impressione discreto, loris discre- 

 tis, gula brevi, horizontali, oculis in mare permagnis, altitii- 

 dinem totam capitis occupantibus, antennis infra medium 

 orbitae anterioris oculorum insertis, articulo primo capiti 

 circiter aeque longo, plus minusve incrassato, secundo primo 

 multo longiore, gracili, sublineari, rostro coxas medias, arti- 

 culo primo basin capitis attingente. Pronotum modice de- 

 clive, punctulatum, coUari instructum, callis transversis, con- 

 fluentibus. Mesoscutum obtectum. Scutellum sat convexum. 

 Elytra abdomine longiora, commissura clavi scutello sub- 

 aeque longa, embolio laminato, parte apicali angustiore et 

 leviter curvata, cuneo paullo longiore quam latiore, incisura 

 basali mediocri, membrana bicellulata. Coxae anticae me- 

 dium mesosterni vix attingentes. Tarsi apicem versus leviter 

 vel levissime incrassati. 



The separation of Pseudocarnus from Carmelus Dist. 

 {Carnus Dist.) has been founded on purely specific characters, 

 and I regard the latter as a synonym of Pseudocarnus. Reu- 

 ter associated Pseudocarnus and Perissohasis Reut. with the 

 Bryocorinae as an aberrant division, Pseudocarnaria, cha- 

 racterized by bicellulate membrane, but as the lora at least 

 in Pseudocarnus are separated from the genae, I place it in 

 the Macrolophinae. In his description of Perissohasis Reu- 

 TER says that the lora are »haud discretis», but the single 

 type is carded in such a way that it is impossible to decide 

 whether the lora are separated from the genae or not. I 

 place also Perissohasis in the Macrolophinae. The genus 

 M onalocorisca Dist. should in my opinion also be excluded 

 from the Bryocorinae. As a matter of fact we do not know 

 with certitude any genus of Bryocorinae with bicellulate 

 membrane, but we know a few forms (Hypseloecus Reut., 

 Baculodema Reut., and the three above mentioned genera) 

 of different groups in which the tarsi are, as in the Bryo- 

 corinae, more or less incrassated toward the apex, while on 

 the other hand the tarsi in two or three genera of Bryo- 

 corinae are almost perfectly linear.
