Body oblong : head varying in breadth, rarely broader than the 

 anterior margin of the thorax ; frons slightly or moderately convex, 

 occupying not more than half of the breadth of the face, furnished with 

 a longitudinal groove : clypeus subacuminated at the apex or slightly 

 truncated : rostrum short or moderate : ocelli remote from the base of 

 the head : sides of thorax rarely a little dilated, very often convex, am- 

 plified posteriorly : costal margin of the tegmina not or towards the 

 base only a little dilated, ulnar veins very often entirely distant, never 

 contiguous ; eight apical areas, first apical area extended farther for- 

 wards than the second : tympana entirely visible : anterior margin of 

 the posterior part of the first dorsal segment of the abdomen not ampli- 

 fied in a lobe, straight : last ventral segment in ? deeply and broadly 

 emarginated : opercula small or moderate, not valvate, rarely contigu- 

 ous : first pair of femora spinose beneath (Sfdl). In Hem. Afric. iv, p. 

 26 (1366), Stal distributes the African species of this genus amongst the 

 subgenera, Abricta, Abroma, Quintilia, and JSpora, to which, in 1870, he 

 added Nelcynda. The Indian species T. brunneus, Fabr,, belongs to the 

 subgenus Abricta and T. aj)icalis, Germar, to Abroma.
