Extract

In preparing a revision of the triaspidine genera which occur in North America, the author has considered all the genera of this group from the world, and has found some shifting of species necessary. The genus Foersterin was created in 1896 by Szépligeti for the reception of two new species described from Europe. At that time, both the genus and the two included species were rather inadequately characterized. This situation has continued to the present day and several authors have incorrectly placed several new species from other zoogeographical regions in this genus. This paper is an attempt to clarify the concept of Szépligeti's genus, and gives a redescription of F. laeviuscula Szépl.
