 When I have received the female speciinen of this insect from the late K. 

 Watenabe, it seemed to me that it might have belonged to Leptopsaltria^ but on 

 studying later the male specimen from Horisha, collected by the late Inao Nitobe, 

 I was convinced that it should belong to quite a new genus.

Much resembles to Purana Dist., but differs from it as follow : 

 Pronotum not angulated or toothed on its lateral margins; opercula very 

 widely separated from each other on the inner margin, nearly twice as long as 

 the breadth ; the male on the second and third ventral segment wants tubercles. 

 Genotype — Purana sakaii Mats.
