Ochraceous or brownisli-ochraceous, obscurely pilose ; pronotiim

 distinct longitudinal dark fasciae, the lateral margins dai-kly serrate, 

 the lateral angles only moderately produced, their apices pointed 

 and slightly directed backward ; veins of the corium piceous ; 

 posterior femora incrassated, more strongly so in males, with small 

 scattered dark tubercles ; obsoletely spined beneath, and \^"ith a 

 broad black central and apical annulation, much more distinct 

 in some specimens than in others ; posterior tibiae inwardly 

 dilated and strongly dentate, the two most prominent spines near 

 base, where the dilatation is broadest : body beneath paler, with

Division DALADERARIA. 



Daladeraria, Stal, En. Hem. iii, p. 35 (1873). 



Daladeridse, part., Leth. S)- Sev. Cat. Gen. Hem. ii, p. 28 (1894). 



The Daladeraria differ from the Petascelaria in having the 

 posterior coxse much nearer to each other, not widely separated ; 

 the abdominal spiracles small and rounded; the posterior femora 

 rarely incrassated or spined. The abdomen is broadly ampliated ; 

 the second abdominal incisure is at the lateral areas moderately 

 inclined forward, and the fourth distinctly recurved at the same 

 position ; the abdominal spiracles on the central segments are 

 much farther removed from their lateral than from their apical 

 margins ; the antennae are long, the fii-st joint not shorter than 

 the second and longer than the head; the rostrum reaches the 

 centre of the mesosternum. 



A small Division containing only three or four genera, which, 

 with one exception {Dalader), belong exclusively to the Ethiopian 

 Eegion.
