Subfamily V.A.TIN-^E:. 

 Genus DANURIA St^l. 



DANURIA ANGOLENSIS, new species. 



Type.—Usile; Loanda, Angola. [Cat. No. 14609, U.S.N.M.] 

 Differing from D. thunhergi Stal, the type of the genus, and appar- 

 ently from the other known forms of this group as now restricted, 

 in having the pronotum shorter and more robust in the male sex, the 

 length of the same being considerably less than half that of the 

 tegmina. The lateral margins of the pronotum are dentate in their 

 entirety, while the maculation at the apex of the internal face of the 

 cephalic coxae is very faint, single, and transverse in character. 

 Comparison with the species known only from the male sex is quite 

 unsatisfactory, but this form seems very distinct from the three 

 species known only from that sex. 



Size rather large; form robust for the male sex of this genus. 

 Head with the median depth contained one and one-half times in 

 the greatest width; occipital outline arcuato-subangulate concave 

 between the juxta-ocular sulci; juxta-ocular lobes acute, conical, 

 directed dorsad or in the line of the axis of the eyes, their height 

 above the dorsal portion of the eyes one-third of the depth of the 

 latter, deplanate; paired supraocellar median tubercles low, rotun- 

 dato-acute; ocelli moderately large, placed in a depressed triangle;
