Nearctic and Neotropical Regions ; one Palsearcticspecies found in India. A very variable genus, already separated into many subgenera{supra). As only one species is found in this fauna, the charactersof that species alone require to be desciibed here. It is at onceseparable from Audinetia by the shorter head and body, the roundedpronotal angles (in many Neotropical species, however, these arespinous), the dentate anterior lateral pronotal margins, therounded apices of the lateral lobes to head, &c. 401.
