  Apparently 
  the 
  name 
  Emesa 
  as 
  a 
  genus 
  of 
  Heteroptera 
  must 
  be 
  considered 
  mascu- 
  

   line 
  in 
  gender 
  since 
  of 
  the 
  originally 
  included 
  species 
  the 
  only 
  one 
  with 
  a 
  termination 
  

   indicating 
  gender, 
  namely 
  precatorius, 
  is 
  masculine.
