 Subfamily I. COREIN^. '^^ |^^ 



Coreiiia, Stal, Of v. Vet.-Ak. Fork. 1872, No. 6, p. 49. J, 5 'i -^5 ,'^-7 



This subfamily, being sufficiently diagnosed in the preceding^ § "? 

 " Synopsis of Subfamilies," needs no further description here. 3 '^Z ' 



The Coreinae are universally distributed, the tropical genera ^^ '•? 

 containing the largest and handsomest species. The brightest 

 coloured species are found in the Neotropical Eegion, but do not 

 exceed in size some of those belonging to the fauna of British 

 India. 



Division MICTABTA. 



This division, as defined by Stal in 1873, was previously (1867) 

 regarded by him as a subfamily, and again similarly treated by 

 Lethierry and Severin (1894). The same remark will apply to the 

 other divisions of the Coreinse. 



* lu Clorcsmus and Cldomorpha. In the PhyUomoypharia the sixth segment 

 is enth-ely foliaceously dilated, backwardly produced, lobate.
