failed to adequately understand, at least sufficiently to give 

 diagnostic characters, and it is, therfore, probably included here 

 in tlie GijUocoraria. 



The body is usually elongate, the pronotum anteriorly more or 

 less distinctly constricted, the femora seldom incrassated. The 

 division possesses a somewhat common generic facies, though 

 StJienaridea, like the Pala;arctic genus HeterocordyJus, has a foreign 

 aspect, but Eeuter himself has located the species in his C(/Uoco)'aria, 

 and we necessarily follo\^- his lead.

Genus STHENARIDEA. 



Sthenaridea, Heut. Ent. Tidshr. \, ]k 197 (1884). 



Type, S. jnisilla, Rent. 



Distribution. Oriental Ivegion. 



Body ovate, shining ; head one-third narrower than base of pro- 

 notum, in front of eyes regularly deflected, and on each side of them 

 obliquely impressed; eyes large, minutely granulate, almost touching 

 the anterior lateral augles of pronotum ; rostrum almost reaching 

 the apices of the posterior coxae ; antennoe longer than half the body 

 including hemelytra, first joint not passing apex of clypeus, last 

 two joints together much longer than the second joint ; pronotum 

 short, trapeziform, lateral margins nearly straight, anterior callo- 

 sities barely discernible, without an apical stricture, and with no 

 transverse sulcation ; scutellum somewhat large, subtriangular ; 

 hemelytra longer than abdomen, cuueus shorter than broad, the 

 fracture profound ; membrane with two areolets or cells. 



Dr. Reuter remarks that this genus is allied to Hetcrocordylus, 

 Fieb., but in superficial appearance more closely to Sthenarus, 

 Fieb., belonging to the division Phi(/ionat7iaria. However, Renter 

 has placed it in his division Cyllocoraria, where \^e naturally 

 leave it.
