BERYTUS. 



GENERIC CHARACTER. 



Antennae four-jointed, filiform, elongated, ge- 

 niculated in the middle, inserted above a line 

 drawn from the eyes to the base of the labrum ; 

 first joint very long, clavate at tip ; second and 

 third joints intimately connected so as to appear 

 as one ; last joint short and oval ; body filiform ; 

 feet elongated, thighs clavate. 



OBSERVATIONS. 



This is one of the many genera that have 

 been very properly separated from the Linnaean 

 Cimex by Fabricius under the name I have 

 adopted, and under that of Neides by Latreille. 

 It is very distinct in appearance from either of 

 its neighbouring genera, and is remarkable for 

 its slender form of body and limbs.
