298 APPENDIX. ANTHOCOBJDjE. 



corium as far as apex of embolium about as long as posterior 

 tibiae, cuneal area large and distinctly separated ; membrane 

 considerably passing abdominal apex ; legs moderately slender, 

 setose. 



The structure of the pronotum and scutellum are the principal 

 characteristics of this genus ; the length of the head allies it to 

 ArnulpTius.

Type, A. nemorum, Linn., a Palaearctic species. 



Distribution. Palaearctic, Neavctic, Neotropical, and Oriental 

 Eegions. Probably more widely distributed. 



Saunders (Hem. Het. Brit. Islds. p. 196, 1892) has shortly 

 but concisely diagnosed this genus as follows : " Head with the 

 eyes not touching the pronotum ; ocelli placed posteriorly, close 

 to the inner margin of the eyes ; antennae with tlie second joint 

 not nearly so long as the third and fourth together ; rostrum 

 short, reaching to about the anterior coxse; pronotum with a 

 well-marked apical collar, sides behind it more or less rounded, 

 base longly sinuate ; scutellum impressed at the base ; elytra 

 always developed, their sides subparallel or slightly rounded ; 

 legs simple, posterior coxae close together, the metasternum pro- 

 duced between them in a narrowly rounded lobe." (Saunders.)
