This diAision includes a group of genera separated by Stal ( V, p. 51, 1876) and some others placed by him in anothercategory. The following characters represent the division asunderstood and proposed here :—The antenniferous tubercles areremote from the lateral margins of the head, and inside longitudinallines through the inner margins of the eyes; the head is alwayselongate, sometimes longer than broad; tlie sternum is usuallysulcated ; and the odoriferous apertures are often, to use a term ofJStals, subauriculatae. * The genus Dymantis, on which the divisional term is constructed, isAfrican. 136 PENTATOMID^.
