Division EURYDEMAIUA. 



I include in this Division a number of genera distinguished pri- 

 marily from the Antestiaria by the shape and size of the scutellum,. 

 which is triangular, longer than broad, with the apex more or less 

 acnmiuately narrowed. The body is more elongate and less 

 convex than in the preceding division ; and a superficial character 

 is that most of the genera of the Earijdemaria are brilliantly 

 coloured. The abdomen is unarmed at base.
