Klopicoris n. gen. 



Aspect of Caviptobrochis but with the form of Sixconotus nearly. 

 Prosternal xyphus strongly convex, almost tumid, without a marginal 

 carina; pronotum with a conspicuous apical collar; elytral mem- 

 brane with but one areole; hind tarsi short, basal joint enlarged 

 and strongly oblique at apex, extending beyond the very small and 

 oblique second joint; third joint terete, not at all expanded; tarsal 

 claws large, strongly curved, with the short and broad arolia united 

 with their basal one third. 



Head and pronotum almost exactly as in Camptobrochis nebu- 

 losus. Head nearly vertical, the facial angle a little less than a right 

 angle, viewed from before broad and transverse, the portion before 

 the eyes narrow; vertex immarglnate at base, front flat. Eyes 

 elongated, reaching almost to the gula. Clypeus prominent. Its 

 depressed base well above the line of the antennas; gula short, 

 oblique. Antennas short, inserted a little below the middle of the 

 inner margin of the eyes; basal joint short, scarcely attaining the 

 apex of the clypeus; second about as long as the pronotum, slightly 

 but distinctly clavate at apex; third and fourth together about two- 

 thirds the length of the second; fourth hardly longer than the first; 

 these joints more slender but not setaceous. Pronotum strongly 

 convex in both diameters, steeply declined anteriorly; sides and hind 

 margin strongly arcuated; anterior margin short with a conspicuous 

 convex collar; callosities small, contiguous, placed close to the 

 anterior margin; surface coarsely remotely punctate. Scutellum 

 large, rounded behind, tumidly convex and polished. Elytra broad 

 and short; scarcely longer than the abdomen; a little wider behind; 

 costa narrowly expanded towards the base and feebly sinuated at 

 the middle; surface polished, impunctate, bullate behind, the claval 

 suture with a single row of punctures; cuneus broad, transverse, 

 almost vertical, its apex obtuse, fracture deep. Membrane nearly 

 vertical, unlareolate. Osteolar orifices large, broad-triangular. 

 Rostrum short, reaching the Intermediate coxae. Hind tarsi short; 

 basal joint longer than the two foUowIng together and moderately 

 expanded; the second very short, lying within the oblique apex of the 

 first; third short, terete.
