Division PENDULINAKIA. 



Pendulinaria, Stdl, En. Hem. iii, p. 3G (1873). 



Posterior femora not incrassated, and tibias above distinctly 

 sulcated. These characters alone will separate the division from 

 the Phi/someraria. The abdominal spiracles are placed before the 

 middle of the segment. 



The Division Fendulinarta is small, consisting of three genera, 

 two of which are apparently confined to the Australasian Region.
