EuPROGGATTiA, gen.iiov. 



Head small, triangular, base semicircular, eyes medium; ocelli 

 situated high above the eyes near base of head, a little nearer to 

 the eyes than to each other; apex broad, notched at middle. 



Protliorax ver}'' broad, furnished with a median carina; rising 

 perpendicularly from the head, above each lateral angle is a broad, 

 flattened, strong, horn extended outward and a little forward, 

 with sides parallel, apex truncated, at the superior angle bearing 

 a. short, slender spine at the side of which is a sulcus; posteriorly 

 terminating, behind lateral horns, the posterior border lightly 

 curved backward, destitute of a posterior process; scutellum very 

 broad and long, resembling a shield, the sides parallel nearly to 

 the apex which is very obtusely rounded and reaches end of 

 abdomen; at the base of the scutellum is a dorsal protuberance of 

 about the size of the lateral horns, pyramidal, truncated at the 

 apex, the median carina continued on scutellum but terminating 

 ,some distance in front of apex, much more distinct in female. 

 The entire surface is rugose, two tubercles on each side of the 

 median carina in front, three irregular rows of tubercles along 

 the dorsum on each side, and a row along the edge of the abdomen, 

 just below the tegmina. 



Tegmina lying flat on the back largely concealed beneath the 

 sides of scutellum, proportionately small, about one-fourth at 

 outer basal portion coriaceous and densely opaque occupjdng tri- 

 angular space at posterior edge of protliorax and sides of scutellum, 

 the remaining part very delicate vitreous and smoky transparent, 

 veins hardly distinguishable. 



Abdomen large, fitting snugly beneath and reaching apex of 

 scutellum.

I take pleasure in dedicating this genus to my esteemed friend 

 Mr. W.W. Froggatt, Government Entomologist, who has rendered 

 every assistance in my entomological studies.
