 Zool. xxiv, p. 90, pi. iv, f. 6 (1891). 



" Head and front of pronotum vufo-testaceous, hinder part of 

 pronotum, scutellum, and corium ^^'ith the ground-colour paler, 

 but so thicldy speckled and reticulated with black as to look 

 darker. Autennte with joints one and four of equal length, the 

 second only slightly shorter, and the third about half as long as 

 the first ; reddish brown at the base, shading into black about the 

 middle of the second joint; extreme base of the second joint, a 

 ring at the base of the third, and a nuich broader one just beyond 

 the base of the fourth, pale yellow. Lateral angles of the pro- 

 notum hardly prominent ; lateral margins with a black line ; the 

 front of the prothorax with two black dots on each side of the 

 pale median line, conspicuous under a strong leus. Towards the 

 hinder part of the pronotum the punctures are much larger and 

 darker, and are arranged in irregular uudxdating transverse lines. 

 Scutellum and corium thickly punctured with black, the punctures 

 along the nervures aiTanged in lines ; edges of the scutellum and 

 corium narrowly testaceous, and the tip of the scutellum bone- 

 colour. Membrane fuscous, black at the base. Under surface 

 rufo-testaceous ; pectus with the punctures unicolorous ; ventral 

 surface of abdomen hardly punctured, the stigmata iiiarked with 

 black dots." {Kirhij.)

Division GOXOCERARIA. 



Gouocerai'ia, Stdl, En. Hem. ill, p. oG (1873). 



In this Division the abdominal spiracles are much nearer to the 

 lateral than to the apical margins of the segments, and from the 

 basal and apical margins generally almost equally remote ; a 

 character whicli alone will serve to separate the Gonocevaria from 

 the Pendulhiaria. 



The Gonoceniria comprise but a few genera, are principally repre- 

 sented in the Ethiopian and Oriental Kegions, and just extend into 

 Australasia, Gonocerus is a well-known Paltearctic genus.
