iliis j^emis seems to hâve soine afliiiitv to Aicu/iUius Dist. and 

 is also soinewhat allied to the asiatic gênera Mausoniella Popp. 

 (by a inisprint called Mansonielhi) and Eiipachypeltis Popp., but 

 it is readily distinguished froin ail of theni bv the structure oi the 

 head and pronotum, and the supernuinerarv vein of the membrane. 

 Small chitinized calli in the membrane, like those of 7V/<;;/o/)///c/>.î, 

 occur also in the genus Chatnus Disr., although neither Distant, 

 nor Keuter and Poppius hâve noticed them in their descriptions.

5. — Sthenaroides montanus Dist. 



Although Distant e.xpresslv states that his genus bas a distinct 

 pronotal collar, he places it between Sthcnarua and Psallus, to 

 which it bas neither affinitv nor resemblance! From the figure it is 

 clear that Sthenaroides is closelv related to the asiatic genus 

 Siporia Popp., from which it differs onlv bv the much broader
