and the second joint of the antennae shorter 

 than the third; the genus Tetyra he limited 

 so as to include only those of which the scutel, 

 though still dilated and elongated, does not 

 entirely conceal the sides of the abdomen, and 

 the second joint of the antennae is longer than 

 the third. A third closely allied genus was 

 distinguished by Schrank, under the name of 

 Thyreocoris, and adopted by Leach. Its 

 scutel is broader than long, the second joint of 

 the antennae is very short, and the anterior 

 margin of the thorax is but little narrowed. 



Of all these genera, we shall be able to give 

 examples in the course of the present work.
