Abstract: 1. The main features of the remigium in Coreinae, Pseudophloeinae and
Spathocera Stein are described; Phyllomorphini (Coreinae) considerably differ
from the rest of the subfamily. 2. Tentative homologies of medial fold with the
original track of M, and of glochis (= antevannal vein) with the original track
of Cu are proposed. 3. Stal's „glochis“ is identical with the antevannal
vein, not with the hamus, as erroneously supposed by modern authors; their
misinterpretations of venational diagnostic characters are reviewed and
corrected. 4. Ramus is universally present in Coreidae, and it does not have a
diagnostic value at the subfamily level. Pseudophloeinae and Spathocera Stein
are characterized by universal presence of glochis.
