26 INSECT A. 
We now pass to Geocorise in which the antennz, also filiform or 
thicker at the extremity and quadriarticulated, are inserted lower 
than the preceding ones, either on an imaginary line, drawn from 
the eyes to the origin of the labrum, or beneath it. The ocelli are 
approximated to the eyes, and the membranous appendages of the 
elytra frequently present but four or five nervures. 
Here the head is not narrowed posteriorly in the manner of a 
neck. 
Lycaus, Fab. 
Where the head is narrower than the thorax, and where the latter 
is narrowed anteriorly and is trapezoidal. 
L. equestris; Cimex equestris, L.; Wolf, Cimic., I, iii, 24. 
Length five lines; red, with black spots; membranous portion of 
the elytra brown spotted with white. 
L. apterus; Cimex apterus, L.; Stoll., Cimic., II, xv, 103. 
Length four lines; apterous; red; the head, a spot on the middle 
of the thorax and large dot on each elytron, black; extremity of 
the elytra truncated or without a membranous appendage. 
Very common im our gardens. It is sometimes, though very 
rarely, found with wings. 
Those species, in which the anterior thighs are inflated, form the 
genus Pacuymera of MM. Lepeletier and Serville, a name already 
employed, and which must be changed(1). © 
SaLpA, Fab. 
Where the head, taken in its greatest breadth, is as wide as the 
thorax or wider, and has its posterior angles dilated, with large 
eyes, and where the thorax is always of equal width and square(2). 
There, the head is ovoid and narrowed posteriorly in the manner 
of a neck. 
Myopocua, Lat.(3) 
We have now arrived at Longilabra, in which the antennez, 
composed of four joints, become gradually thinner towards the ex- 
tremity, and frequently even abruptly so, or are setaceous. 
In our Fam. Nat. du Rég. Anim., we have formed the subgenus
