It should be noted that the insects of the genus Cryptaspidia, 
in addition to being longer-bodied and slenderer than those of 
the genus Gar gar a to which they are closely allied, differ also in 
having the scutellum entirely concealed. They may be sepa- 
rated from the genus Tricentrus by the lack of suprahumeral 
horns, and from the genus Centrotoscelus by the absence of 
spines on the hind trochanters. The character of the two dis- 
coidal cells, considered by Stab as generic, does not always hold.
