Subfamily Hurypracuypina, Stal. 
Eurybrachydida, Stal, Hem. Afric. iv, p. 129 (1866): Burybrachydina, Ofvers. 
K. V.-A. Férh. p. 753 (1870). 
Anal area of wings very rarely reticulate, when so, clypeus convex 
without lateral ridges: last tibiee without a mobile spur at the apex. 
Frons broad, transverse or almost equally long and broad, amplified on 
both sides in a distinct angle: anterior feet compressed, more or less 
dilated : anal area of wings sometimes reticulated (Stal). 
Stal distributes the genera included in this subfamily into two 
great groups :— 
(1) those in which the eyes beneath are spinose. 
(2) those in which the eyes beneath are unarmed. 
ae Genera furnished with eyes spinose beneath. 
I, Wings less ample, not or scarcely broader than the tegmina : 
head very broad; antenne briefly cylindrical; eyes beneath very dis- 
tinctly spose; clavus very broad at the apex. 
A. Head very slightly prominulous before the eyes; gene nar- 
rower; frons scarcely or only a little broader than the thorax ; last pair 
of tibie 5-spinose :—Hurybrachys, Guérin. 
B. Head more prominulous before the eyes; gene broader; frons 
distinctly broader than the thorax ; vertex scarcely or only a little shorter 
than the thorax; last pair of tibise 6-spimose :—Messena, Stal. 
II. Wings ample, broader than the tegmina. 
A. Vertex distinctly sinuate at the base: lateral angles of frons 
_much produced ; antennee briefly cylindrical ; clavus broad at the apex, 
two longitudinal veins separated through their whole length: median 
“Iongitudinal area of wings dilated, furnished almost entirely with trans- 
verse veins ; last pair of tibie 6-spinose :—Thessitus, Walker. 
B. Vertex very slightly sinuate at the base or truncated: lateral 
angles of frons somewhat straight, less produced than in Thessitus, Walker : 
clavus narrowly open at the apex, the longitudinal veins united nearly 
in the middle ; wings without a dilated area. 
a. Head hardly broader than the thorax, vertex truncated at the 
base ; second joint of the antenne very briefly subcylindrical ; last pair 
of tibie 5-spinose :—Lowocephala, Schaum. 
b. Head narrower than the thorax, vertex subsinuate at the base ; 
second joint of the antennee subglobose: last pair of tibiae normally 
4-spinose :—WNesis, Stal.
