Genus Euprepocnemis Fieber. 



Euprepocnemis Fieber, Lotos, III, p. 98 (1853); IV, p. 178 (1854); Ib., Syn. 



Eur. Orth., p. 9 (1854). 

 Euprepocnemis Stal, Recens. Orth., I, p. 75 (1873), etc. (See Kirby, I. c, p. 559.) 



Africa seems to be the center of distribution for members of this 

 genus, although it is represented over most of the Orient, extending 

 even into some of the islands of the Pacific. Eighteen species are 

 recognized in Kirby's Catalogue.
