68 SEVENTEENTH Report State EntToMoLocist oF MINNEsoTA—1918 
Koch (1854) placed the genus Anoecia in the tribe Schizoneuriden 
which is a nomen nudum. Mordwilko (1908) has it under the group 
name Schizoneurina. Tullgren (1909) placed it as a distinct tribe 
under the term Anoeciina. We would consider it as an anomalous 
Pemphiginae which, provisionally, may be placed as a tribe in the group 
Phyllaphidina. 
Morphological characters. Head convex in front; antennae of 
six segments and inserted in shallow depressions, moderately long 
and provided with long hairs reminding one strongly of the Lachnina ; 
spur of the terminal segment short; secondary sensoria circular, 
the marginal scattered and of unequal size; reticulation indistinct or 
wanting. Rostrum moderately long. Media one-branched as in 
Schizoneura. Cornicles pore-like with rimlike margin slightly raised 
above the surface. Cauda short and rounded as in Lachnus. Dermal 
glands small and scattered, not forming areas. Sexes provided with 
rostrum. 
Biological characters. The life history is imperfectly known. 
They are found inhabiting twigs and leaves of woody plants. It may 
be considered an open question if the present tribe would not find a 
more natural association with the Chaitophorina, than with the Pem- 
phiginae. At least they have little in common with the Schizoneurini. 
VII. Group MINDARINA 
Koch, 1854, Die Pflanzenl. Heft 1. Sub Schizoneuriden (tribe). 
Tullgren, 1909, Ark. Zool. Vol. 5. Sub Mindarina (tribe). 
Koch (1854) placed the genus Mindarus with the Schizoneuriden. 
Tullgren (1909) considers it as a distinct tribe under the name 
Mindarina. We would consider this term as a group coordinate with 
the other groups of the subfamily, which at present contain but one 
tribe, the Mindarini. 
Morphological characters. Front rounded and with a slight 
emargination just above the median ocellus. Antennae moderately 
long; spur very short; secondary sensoria slightly oval, the marginal 
scattered but close to the primary. Rostrum rather long, reaching 
the abdomen. Wings large; stigma elongated, extending almost to the 
median vein; stigmal vein almost straight and very long, originating 
from the radius back of the stigma or from the proximal end of the 
stigma; media one-branched as in Schizoneura. Cornicles or pores 
very small. Cauda short and pointed, extending beyond the anal plate. 
Gland areas when present margined and composed of equal facets.
