Division COMPASTAJIIA. 



1 here arrange a group of genera possessing a greater breadth 

 of body with the head broader at the apex and the scutellum 

 usually less acuminate. The species are obscurely coloured, and 

 are allied to the following division, from which they differ by the 

 unarmed base of the abdomen. 



Synopsis of Genera.

produced.
