42 Mr. James Edwards’ Synopsis of 
iii. DettocepHanus, Burm. (PI. III., fig. 18). 
Burmeister, Gen. Ins., ii. (1838). 
Body oblong or elongate. Head with the eyes as wide as the 
pronotum, pointed in front; crown flat or slightly convex, more or 
less angularly produced in front; frons at the apex three or four 
times as wide as the temples; cheeks generally subangularly 
dilated; temples linear; ocelli somewhat distant from the eyes. 
Side margins of pronotum short. Elytra usually subcoriaceous, 
with five subapical areas, generally shorter than the abdomen 
with very short apical areas, sometimes longer than the abdomen 
in consequence of the development of the membrane and appendix, 
and in that case the elytra overlap a little at the apex. Wings 
often very short.
