Head uot or only a little narrower tlian the jjronotum ; clypeus 

 generally convex, its lateral margins seldom ridged ; pronotnui 

 trinicate at base, sometimes but rarely broadly roundly sinuate, 

 either without a median carination or with only an obsolete 

 one; mesouotnm short, rarely twice longer than pronotiun ; 

 tegmina coriaceous or subcoriaceous, rarely vitreous, seldom tlat. 

 usually more or less- convex, sometimes very much abbreviated ; 

 basal joint of posterior tarsi short or of moderate length, very 

 rarely elongate. 



In many respects the Isslno; are closely allied to the Enr//- 

 hracliydhuv, some authorities placing the two in sequence to one 

 another, and others treating them both as representing one sub- 

 family. Although I have not followed either of these courses, 

 there is very much to be said in their favour, but at present there 

 is a divergence of view as to the divisions of the Fulgorida^ and 

 their )]atural sequence, while the question is without sufficient 

 data for final decision.
