We place this genus in the Tribe Plectopterinse, the femora not being spined ; but 

 its facies is quite that of Anaplecta. The wings are formed as in that genus, and have 

 an appendicular articulated apical field. The elytra are parted by a single longitudinal 

 nervure ; they are (as in the genus Ectobia, Br.) strongly pectinated by the numerous 

 costal and discoidal branches, and have a deep anal sulcus.

Habitus generis Ceratinopterce. Caput vix prominulum. Pronotum majusculum, corneum, transverse para- 

 bolicum, antice leviter truncatum, convexiusculum ; marginibus leviter deflexis. Elytra cornea, polita, 

 abdominis longitudine vel breviora, sicut in genere Chorisoneura venosa, venis praesertim subtilibus 

 remotis, per transluciditatem perspicuis. Pedes robusti. — $ $ . Lamina supra-analis trigonalis, apice 

 incisa. Cerci compressi, apice haud longe anguste producti, bebetati. Ultimum segmentum ventrale 

 apice minute compressum. Alae rudimentales. 



The elytra are corneous, as in Areolaria, though they are very different in structure 

 in the two genera. In Areolaria the elytra are entirely occupied by very numerous, 

 contiguous, parallel, longitudinal veins, even in the marginal field, separated by lines 

 of punctures. In Hemipterota the elytra are not punctured, the veins are fine, only 

 distinct when viewed by transmitted light, remote from each other, and disposed as 

 in Chorisoneura. Hemipterota may be regarded as a somewhat degenerate form of 

 Chorisoneura with abbreviated elytra. Areolaria belongs to the type of Prosoplecta, 

 but with quite corneous elytra.

2 • Eulvo-testacea. Antennae ultra medium brunnescentes. Vertex vix prominulus. Pronotum testaceum ; 

 disco fusco-punctato et lineolato, obsolete castaneo-bivittato ; marginibus lateralibus late pellucidis ; 

 angulis lateralibus posticis vix rotundatis. Elytra sordide testacea, venis obsoletis, abdominis apicem 

 liberantia, apice attenuata, margine costali et ad apicem arcuato. Campus marginalis latiusculus, venis 

 costalibus 7-8 partim furcatis, valde transversis. Rami venae ulnaris obliquae, obsoletae. Sulcus analis 

 nullus. Ala3 rudimentariae. Tibiae ad exsertionem spinarum nigro-punctatae. Abdomen rufescens, 

 supra castaneo-varium, subtus segmentis utrinque macula fusca. Lamina supra-analis carinata, apice 

 minute bilobata. Cerci apice fusco. 



Long. 8-7 ; elytr. 5, pronot. 2-6, latit. pronot. 4 millim.
