Division JUSCHliOCORARlA. 



A division at present represented only by two genera in this 

 fauna and marked by very distinct characters. The head is long, 

 Avith the lateral lobes much longer than the centi-al ; the pro- 

 uotal angles are very prominently dilated; the scutellum is broad 

 and short ; the membrane has the veins more or less reticulate 

 -and does not reach the apex of the abdomen.
