Division Hemidictyaeia. 



The principal divisional character of the HemiJictyaria is 

 to be found in the narrow head, which (including eyes) is 

 about or scarcely more than half the width of mesonotum at 

 base ; the abdomen (especially in tlie mules) is more or less 

 globose and usually longitudinally dorsally ridged. 



Lacetas, Karsch, from the figure illustrating the description, 

 apparently belongs to this division, but I have not yet seen
