Division HOPLISTODERARIA. 



This division is allied to the preceding one by having the 

 scutelluni large, broad, and neither distinctly narrawed to apex 

 nor subtriangular ; the mesosternum is either sulcate or cariuate, 

 and the pronotal angles spined or rounded ; the head and anterior 

 area of the pronotum are usually, sometimes very strongly, de- 

 flected ; the odoriferous apertures to the metasternum are also 

 longer than in the previous division. Abdomen unaruied at base.
