(a). The primary and subtended veins of the hemelytra generally 

 close to each other and diverging at the apex, parallel or somewhat so : 

 tamus generally absent : scutellum varying in size, generally furnished 

 with frena : entire basal margin of thorax touching base of the scutel- 

 lum : rostral furrow anteriorly not or but very slightly narrowed. 



(6). Rostrum extended behind the first pair of coxoe, of variable 

 length, 1-2 joints elongate, the second entirely or to the greatest part 

 extended behind the bucculae. 



(c). Scutellum generally reaching or extending beyond the middle 

 of the abdomen, rarely short, and if so, narrow at the apex and only 

 slightly or very slightly produced behind the frena : membrane mode- 

 rate or small. 



{d). Tarsi 3- jointed : tibiae generally furrowed above. 



(e). Rostrum slender, more or less remote from the labrum which 

 is inserted below the apex of the tylus ; rostral furrow anteriorly some- 

 times coarctate : bucculae usually higher anteriorly, parallel, not united 

 posteriorly.

 beyond the lateral margins of the head, generally acutely produced 

 outwards at the apex : first joint of the rostrum not extended behind the
