In this division the pronotum is distinctly narrowed anteriorly, 

 never longer than the mesonotum, sometimes much shorter; the 

 lateral pvonotal margins are oblique, not am])liate ; the body is 

 more or less robust, narrowed towards head and apex of abdomen ; 

 abdomen sometimes very short ; tegmina and wings hyaline, the 

 first in a few cases semi-opaque, but usually clear and frequently 

 unspotted. 



Only one genus of this division is found in British Lidia, the 

 other genera belong to the Neotropical and Ethiopian Regions.
