pronotal angles, which are distinctly spinously produced, aud with 

 their apices a little directed backward ; the fourth joint of antennae 

 is pale luteous with its apex piceous ; the pronotum has a subbasal 

 transverse black marginal line, but the longitudinal fasciae are 

 indistinct, only three in number, the central one continuous, 

 indistinct and fuscous, the other two red, but not extending 

 beyond the anterior area.

In this division the head is neither longitudinally sulcated nor 

 impressed, the brachial vein to the hemelytra is distinct, the 

 cuneus elongately triangular but the fracture not profoundly 

 exhibited ; the pronotum very obsoletely punctate, sometimes 

 transversely rugose.

Distribution. Probably of universal distribution. 



Body subelongate ; first joint of the antennae sparingly hirsute 

 on its inner margin, and about as long as the pronotum ; rostrum 

 extending beyond the base of the abdomen ; body opaque, some- 

 what densely pubescent ; eyes large, prominent ; pronotum 

 trapezoidal, with a distinct anterior collar ; scutellum tumid ; 

 hemelytra more or less parallel ; membrane pale fuliginous, 

 irrorated with paler coloration ; legs elongate, the posterior pair 

 longest, with the femora moderately thickened ; tibiae setose.
