Almost every survey for β Cephei detection has been restricted to the small area of the HR diagram that contained the 15-20 first discovered. (Table 1). Of course, every new short period pulsating star found in such an a priori limited region has strengthened the impression that an instability box could be derived from the study of the statistics of β Cep variables. That conclusion could have led to the discovery of a β Cep pulsation mechanism related to a particular mass - age internal structure status. On the contrary if the phenomenon is due to a mechanism acting in a wider extension of the HR diagram (and so probably better related to envelope properties) one still has to explain why its detection seems to be easier in the B0-B1 zone. Moreover, even within the “instability box” some classical β Cep could be either in core hydrogen burning phase or others in shell hydrogen burning phase, i.e. with quite different internal structures.
