MICRONOTU.S GEN. NOV. 



Body small, brachypterous. Antennre slender, extremely 

 filamentous-elongate, consisting of twelve or, rarely, thirteen 

 articles. Eyes small; behind the eyes a very small portion of 

 occiput e.xposed. Verte.x in dorsal view wider than one of the 

 eyes, a little advanced beyond them; median carina anteriorly 

 distinct; on either side between the eyes the vertex longitudi- 

 nally shallowly subfossulate. Frontal costa in profile projecting 

 beyond the e3'es, scarcely sinuato-convex; viewed in front the 

 branches distinctly separated, moderately diverging. Dorsum 

 of pronotiun subtectiform; humeral angles prominent; median 

 and lateral carin;"e of pronotum distinct; the posterior inferior 

 angle of the lateral lobes obtuse, the inferior lateral sinus 

 strongly angulate incised, the superior lateral sinus quite deep, 

 giving prominence to the median lobule. Elytra oval or elypti- 

 cal; wings abbreviated. Margins of middle femora (female) 

 more or less sinuate; posterior femora rather stout; first 

 article of posterior tarsi distincth- longer than the second and 

 third together.

 distinguished by the less rounded vertex (viewed in pro-
