Stal (Hem. Afr. iii.) arranges the African speciea of this 
group in 3 distinct families, under the denominations of Acan~ 
thiida, Tingidida, and Aradida, The first of these includes only 
the genus Acanthia with 2 species, A, villas a (StSl) and rotun- 
data (Sign.) ; in the second he admits 3 genera, ZosmenuSy 
CantacadeVy and Monanthia ; but in the third the author tabu- 
lates a considerable number of genera, several proposed by 
himself, although only 2 of these appear to be new. Stal pro- 
poses the name of Calisius for Costa^s genus Aradacanthia. The 
species described are referred to the 3 genera BrachyrhynchuSy 
Meziray and Aradus. 
St§,l (l.c. pp. 33 and 34) refers Signoret’s Crimia rugosa and Mezira rugosa 
to the genus Brachyrhynchus, and proposes to change the name of the latter 
to B. monedula (Stal). 
Monanthia lunulata (Mayr) is described and figured by Mayr, Reise der 
Novara, Zool. ii. Hem. p. 163, Taf. 4. fig. 46. 
Phymata spinosissima (Mayr) described and figured by Mayr, 1. c. p. 168, 
Taf. 6. fig. 49. 
Neuroctenus (Fieb.). Mayr (1. c. p. 166) discusses the characters and affi- 
nities of this genus, which he regards as most nearly allied to Aneurus. Of 
described species he thinks that Mezira litigiosa, ovata, and himaadatay and 
Brachyrhynchus caffer (StSl), probably belong to this genus.
