Agrees with Kelisia in the narrowed elytra, aborted wings and general 

 facies, with Megamelus in the widening front, and keeled apex of vertex. 



Vertex long narrowing anteriorlv, front widening on its lower half, 

 narrowing sharply to tip of vertex, the carinae not meeting but extending 

 very prominently over tip and on to vertex. Clypeus somewhat tumid, 

 median carinae somewhat obtuse, lateral carinae distinct, curved; anten- 

 nae with second joint short, tuberculate. Pronotum with three prom- 

 inent carinae, lateral ones straight and reaching extreme margin. Scutel- 

 lum broad, disk quadrilateral with posterior margin produced into 

 prominent obtuse point with reflected margins. Elytra long distinctly 

 narrowed from near base to the tip; wings mere rudiments. 



Prokelisia setigera, n. sp. 



Light yellow or pallid, unicolorous except for row of dark punctures 

 next lateral carinae of front, the tibial spines, teeth of spur, spines and 

 claws of tarsi and spots on venter. Length : female 3.5 mm. ; male, 3 mm. 

 Vertex longer than broad distinctly narrowing to apex, the carinae 

 strong. Front conspicuously widened at apex narrowed to tip of vertex, 

 carinae high and extending prominently over tip of vertex; clypeus tri- 

 angular lateral carinae curved. Pronotum wider than long carinae ele- 

 vated, hind margin slightly emarginate deepest, at middle almost notched; 



:scutellum truncate, hind 'lobe obtuse, margin strongly reflected. Tibial 

 spur verv large, broad, marginal teeth strong. Elytralong, narrowing to
