Stal originally (1802) gave the Plata ohscura, Fabr., as 

 type of this genus. This sj)ecies he subsequently and 

 lightly, in his ' Heniiptera Fabriciana ' (1869), placed in the 

 genus Pochazia. In his ' Hemiptera Insularum Philippi- 

 narum ' (1870) he describes his Mindura sub/asciata = No(/o- 

 dina aU'ujata^ Walk., and this must be taken as the typo of 

 Mindura.
