Group PYRESTINL 



Antennal supports emarginate in front, more or less distinctly 

 raised on the inner side ; front subvertical ; palpi rather short, 

 subequal in length ; eyes finely facetted, deeply emarginate, in one 

 genus completely divided ; gula with short mentigerous process. 

 Antennae more or less robust, usually shorter than the body in 

 both sexes. Protborax unarmed at the sides. Legs short ; hind 

 femora not reaching to the apex of the elytra ; first joint of hind 

 tarsi shorter than the second and third united. Front coxae glo- 

 bular, their acetabula rounded on the outer side, closed posteriorly. 

 Acetabula of middle coxae open to the epimera. Metathorax 

 without scent-pores. Wing-vein Cu 1 simple, Cu 2 absent.

 their distribution to tlie Oriental Kegion and North China. The 

 species are characterised, to a greater or less extent, by their red 

 coloration.
