single row; costal margin anteriorly obtnsisli or somewhat so, generally 

 pale, levigate and somewhat callous : juga and tylus of equal length, the 

 juga very rarely a little longer than the tylus, always altogether dis- 

 tant, never accuminated : head generally rather bending forwards, 

 pronotum rather inclined before the middle ; anterior lateral margins, at 

 least before the middle, rounded or somewhat so, generally callous 

 and levigate : lateral angles of pronotum usually prominulous : basal 

 angles of the scutellum generally marked by a pale, levigate, callous, 

 often large, spot or streak : body beneath generally rather convex : 

 orifices subauriculately margined or extended in a short furrow, abrupt- 

 ly abbreviated, not continued in a wrinkle or ridge, having the margin 

 elevated : tibiae somewhat slender, rounded, or above slightly sulcated, 

 or somewhat flattish : second joint of the rostrum reaching the first coxae 

 or the base of the mesostethium, not, or a little longer, or shorter, than 

 the two apical joints taken together, these equal in length or somewhat 

 so : almost entire second joint of the antennae extending beyond the apex 

 of the head : body small. 



Genus Stollia, Ellenrieder.

Body short ; length of body equal to 1| time the breadth of the 

 pronotum ; head much inclined ; tylus long, juga anteriorly gradually 

 narrowed externally up to the interior apical angle which is somewhat 

 straight or acutish ; eyes globulose, small, very prominent ; ocelli small : 

 first joint of the antennse shorter than the head, 2-5 joints almost of 

 equal length, last two more robust : rostrum reaching the second 

 segment of the abdomen : anterior margin of pronotum narrower than 

 the head ; lateral margin almost entire, 2-3 small teeth anteriorly being 

 hardly visible ; posterior angles broader than the abdomen, more pro- 

 minent in the (5* , and mucronate or acuminate : pronotum much declined 

 before the line between the posterior angles : scutellum broad, long, 

 covering three-fourths of the abdomen, its posterior angle very broadly 

 rounded : coriaceous part of hemelytra longer than the membrane which 

 has a few veins, sometimes branched : abdomen short, almost orbicular, 

 extending at the sides a little beyond the hemelytra, posteriorly scarcely 

 shorter than them : venter subglobulose, usually shining black, with- 

 in the callous and levigate lateral margins, finely impressed, margin 

 pale : ventral furrow in the first segment, short but deep : feet weak, 

 sparingly ciliated, punctulate black (Ellenr.'). The species of this genus 

 appear to be numerous and to require revision.
