Ned. hid. (2) i, p. 220, pi. II,f. 8 (1866); Btal (part.) En. Hem. i, p. 76 (1870). I do not know this species; and Stal in admitting its validity bas cited theB. regia. Walk., as a synonym. This proposed species of Walker I haveexamined and can only regard as a synonym of D. dilatata. I quote Vollenhovensspecies here solely on the authority of Stal, and cannot give its differentialcharacters. MUSCANDA, 277 I have not proposed a Division for the reception o£ the two fol-lowing genera, because they differ considerably between themselves,and it is not desirable, except when absolutely necessary, to create aDivision for a single genus. From the Tessaratomaria the generahere following differ in having the posterior margin of the pronotumtruncate or concave and not produced over the base of thescutellum ; from the Eusthenaria they may be at once distinguishedby the length of the scutellum, which is half
