 Homceoceridce, Leth. Sf Sev. Cat. Gen. Hem. ii, p. 35 (1894). 



The Homceoceraria differ from the two previous Divisions by 

 having the abdomen very rarely ampliated, usually elongate ; the 

 second and fourth abdominal incisures at their lateral areas straight 

 or very obsoletely curved ; spiracles of the central abdominal 

 sec^meiits not farther removed from their lateral than from their 

 apical margins ; first joint of the antennae a little shorter than the 

 second, the two rarely of equal length.
