Aradide, I4I 
ANEURUS, Curt. 
Very flat, comparatively smooth. Head with a narrow 
neck, then suddenly widened to a width not quite equal 
to the anterior margin of the pronotum, angulated 
behind the eyes; eyes slightly prominent; antenniferous 
tubercles rectangular; central lobe of the face elongate, 
rounded and narrowed in front; antennze with the joints 
more or less rounded at the apex; pronotum widely 
transverse; scutellum large, and rounded posteriorly ; 
elytra almost entirely membranous, the corium and clavus 
being scarcely definable, and indicated only by a very short 
coriaceous basal portion; apex of the membrane broadly 
and truncately rounded; wings short; connexivum wide 
and flat; genital segments in the male projecting beyond 
the apex of the connexivum, in the ¢ two visible from 
above; legs short, femora slightly incrassated. 
A very curious genus, of which we possess the only 
European species. It occurs under bark, and is the flattest 
species found in this country. 
A. levis, Fub.—Pitchy brown; antennez, legs, and 
abdomen rather paler. Head wrinkled transversely on the 
vertex ; antennee with the first joint oval, the second about 
equalling it in length, but thinner, the third about once and 
a half as long as the second, the fourth about once and 
a half the length of the third; pronotum with the anterior 
margin sinuate, the disc deeply and transversely impressed, 
base nearly straight; scutellum transversely wrinkled, 
semicircular; membrane lying closely adpressed to the 
abdomen, smoky brown; connexivum widely extended 
beyond the membrane on each side, dull; the abdomen 
beneath the membrane with a very shining line down each 
side and down the centre.
