coxae ; scutellum either a little longer tbrai broad, or equilateral ; 

 corium with the apical margin a little .sinuate, and its apical angle 

 distiactly produced ; abdominal spiracles placed before the middle 

 of the segments. 



This is a genus exhibiting considerable variation in structure ; 

 it has been divided, but the divisions are now estimated as of 

 only subgeneric value, in this respect resembhng those of the genus 

 Homceocerus. With the last-named genus species of PendiiJinvs 

 are easily confounded, when the structure of the head is not 

 sufficiently studied.
