Tribe PANISCIDES. 



A tribe of yellowish or reddish insects, usually of somewhat 

 large size. Thorax shining and never strongly sculptured ; 

 notauli distinct but rarely deeply impressed ; metathorax sub- 

 declivous throughout and not apically produced above the hind 

 coxae. Abdomen slender and not deplauate ; basal segment 

 elongate and subparallel-sided, rarely subpetiolate or subsessile, 

 with the spiracles ahvays before its centre; terebra exserfced or 

 subconcealed, J valvulae large and strongly exserted. Tarsal claws 

 nearly always strongly pectinate ; intermediate tibiae distinctly 

 bicalcarate. Wings very ample ; areolet rarely wanting, usually
