OxYHALOINAE 
HYPNORNOIDES new genus 
Allied to Hypnorna Stal, from which it differs in the shorter, 
more ovate instead of elongate form, in the head being without a 
distinct transverse sulcus and carina between the face and vertex, 
in the tegmina being relatively broad, not acuminate, and with a 
distinct anal impression on the same. It is not close to the re- 
lated Calhypnorna. 
Generic Description. — Depressed, ovate in form. Face and 
vertex passing regularly one into the other, non-carinate or sul- 
cate: antennae short, moniliform, hirsute. Pronotum roughly 
quadrate : lateral portions defined, translucent. Tegmina coriace- 
ous, short lanceolate: venation distinct but not elevated; anal 
sulcus distinct: marginal field sharply defined, narrow. Wings 
with small reflexed intercalated area. Ante-penultimate dorsal 
abdominal segment produced latero-caudad into a distinct pro- 
jection: subgenital plate of female deeply fissate and semi-valvate.
