128 INSECTA. 
This subdivision embraces the family of the Saricyres of Latreille, 
a name derived from that of the principal genus 
SAPYGA. 
In some the antennz are filiform or setaceous, as in 
Tuynnus, Fab. 
Where the eyes are entire(1). 
PoLocurum, Spin. 
Where they are emarginated, and the mandibles, besides, multi- 
dentated(2). 
In the others the antennz are thickest at the extremity, or in some 
males even clavate. Their remaining characters are those of the 
Polochra. Such is Sapyga proper, or 
Sapyea, Lat. 
These Insects flit about trees and walls, exposed to the heat of 
the sun, and appear to deposit their eggs there(3). 
The Ceramii of Latreille, according to the form of the first seg- 
ment of the thorax and their extended or applicated wings, belong to 
this subdivision, but more important affinities place them in the fa- 
mily of the Diploptera. 
3. Fossores still allied to the preceding in the extent and form of 
the first segment of the thorax, but in which the posterior legs are at 
least as long as the head and trunk, and the antennz are most fre- 
quently slender, formed of elongated, lax, or but slightly compact 
and strongly arcuated or curled joints, at least in the females. 
They are united by Latreille in the family of the SpHrcipEs, a 
name derived from that of the dominant genus 
SPHEX. 
(1) Lat., Ibid. The Scotenz of Klug appear to me to differ but slightly from 
the Thynni; they have the same kind of antenne, similar wings, the first cubital 
cellalso traversed by a small line, &c. The anus of the males is slightly recurved, 
a character which approximates them to Tengyra, and various other divisions of 
the preceding division.
