CLAYIGRALLA. 401 



Subfamily II. PSEUDOPHLCEINiE. 



Pseudophlceina, Stdl, Ofc. Vet.-Ak. Fdrh. 1872, no. G, p. 50. 



This subfamily is to be distinguished from the Coreinse by the 

 absence of the impression neax- the central lobe of the head ; the 

 dorsal surface of the sixth abdominal segment in both sexes has 

 the posterior angles prominently recurved, slightly dentate or 

 spinose ; tibiae rounded, not sulcated. 



The Pseudophloeiiia), a much smaller subfamily than the Coreinse, 

 are almost universally distributed. Eecords of their pi'esence in 

 the Australasian Region are practically wanting, but of this zoolo- 

 gical area our rhynehotal knowledge is still very fragmentary.
