Division TIBIGINAIUA. 

 Tibicinaria, Blst. A. M. N. H. (7) xvi, p. 22 (1905). 



In this division the abdomen is more or less eyhudrical and 

 attenuated posteriorly ; anal appendages usually very prolonged 

 and prominent, their lower plate as a rule more longly porrect 

 than their upper one : pronotum generally more or less distinctly 

 narrowed anteriorly * ; tegmina somewhat talc-like and obscurely 

 wrinkled, their greatest breadth always more than one-third of 

 their length, both tegmina and wings always prominently 

 sanguineous or reddish-ochraceous at base. 



The genera in this division are of a very homogeneous 

 character, possess a common facies, and are widely distributed. 

 Four genera are at present included in the Tibicinaria, only one of 

 which is found in British India.

 Pahaiia, Dist. A. M. X. H. (7) xvi, p. 25 (1905). 



Type, P. lacteipennis, Walk. 



Distribution. At present known only from the northern districts 

 of India. 



Head moderately narrow, its breadth (including eyes) narrower 

 tlian base of mesonotum, and about equal to its length including 

 crnciform elevation, front prominent, as long as vertex ; pronotum 

 much longer than head, convex, laterally depressed, obliquely
