The animal kingdom, arranged after its organization : forming a natural history of animals, and an introduction to comparative anatomy . na terminated by a small club, formed of the last three joints, and lodged in canalson the under-side of the thorax. Scoliniis, Kirby, has the antenna terminated in a small club, but the last two joints are nearly united, and notlodged in canals. [These three subgenera consist of exotic insects.] Asida, Latr., differs from the last three subgenera in having the thorax nearly trapezoid, and the mentumcovers the base of the maxillae. In the remainder of the Blapsides, the body is oval and but little elongated, the lateral fold of the elytra is narrow and extends but slightly beneath, and the feet are unlike in the sexes, the two fore anterior tarsi being dilated in the males, the under-side being generally silky, or furnished with a brush. These insects inhabit sandy districts, the two fore tibia; being generally broad and dilated triangularly, so as to be fitted for burrowing. Pedinus, Latr., has the fore margin of the head always notched ; the two anterior tarsi of the males are alone. 532 INSECTA evidently more dilated than tlie following:. Megerle and Dejean have cut this up into several other subgenera,without, however, characterizing them. Such are their genera,— Opatrinus (in which the males have the four basal joints of the anterior tarsi of equal breadth, composed ofAmerican species); Dendariis, Meg., in which the basal, and especially the fourth joint, are evidently narrowerthan the interveningjoints, the tibia; long and narrow, but little dilated at the tip; IleliopMlus, Dej., in which thesides of the thorax are suddenly narrowed near the posterior angles; Eitiynotiis, K., with the thorax large,scarcely broader than long, and strongly margined ; Isocerus, Meg , with the body distinctly more convex above,and the thorax transverse, and Pedinus proper, in which the males have the three basal joints of the two anteriortarsi
