The name of this division was founded on that of the Neo- 

 tropical genus Valdasus, 8tal, \vhich has since been proved to be 

 a synonym of the older genus Cylcqnis, Say. As the name Val- 

 dasus no longer exists as a generic cognomen, it is necessary to 

 alter the divisional name as above. 



This division includes a series of genera in which the head 

 is truncated or deflected, not produced in front of eyes, and- 

 always, though frequently obscurely, sulcated, and sometimes more 

 correctly to be described as excavated ; the antennae are inserted 

 well in front, but on a level with the inner margin of the eyes. 

 The species thus comprised are of a more robust character than 

 those of the Miraria, and their coloration is bright and handsome, 

 thus resembling those of the following division. 



Si/ii02>sis of Genera. 



A. Eyes broad, trausverse, somewhat contiguous 



on disk of head Pharyllus, p. 434. 



B. Eyes of ordinary size and placed wide apart. 



a. Prouotum with a single anterior transverse 



constriction. 



a. First joint of antennaj longer than head, 



but shorter than pronotum Argenis, p. 434. 



b. First joint of antennae as long as head 



and prouoium together Helopeltis, p. 439. 



b. Pronotum Avith two anterior transverse 



constrictions. 



n. Head transverse, short; eyes near to, but 



well separated from, anterior margin 



of pronotum. 



a'. First joint of autennaj glohosely in- 



crassate at base, second joint about 



twice as long as first Guisardus, p. 430. 



b'. First joint of antenn£33 not incrassate 

 at base, second joint about lialf as 

 long again as first Prodromus, p. 436.
