Gclastoccphaliis, gen. nov. 



Allied to Carohts, but the tegmina in repose as seen dorsally, 

 are almost linear posteriorly. 



Head and eyes narrower than pronotum. Vertex elongate, 

 somewhat ascendant, the disk depressed, the lateral keels acute, 

 converging anteriorly straightly, strongly prominent in front, 

 nearly twice as long as wide, anterior angle acute, slightly round- 

 ed ; posterior margin roundly emarginate. Eyes longer than 

 broad, extending laterally as far as anterior margin of pronotum. 



Frons and clypeus medianly fused, spindle-haped, the former 

 strongly carinate laterally, the keels suddenly curving around to 

 the thorax a little apical of the middle of the fused segments. 

 Ocelli small but distinct, the frontal one absent. Clypeus angu- 

 late ; not carinate laterally. Antennae small, not inserted near 

 clypeus. 



Pronotum almost linear, anterior margin very highly angular- 

 ly arched, lateral margins short, diverging ; posterior margin 

 deeply, acutangularly emarginate. Scutellum diamond-shaped 

 tiicarina'te. 



In repose the tegmina (as seen dorsally) are arched laterally 

 posterior to the shoulders, apical half very strongly narrowed. 

 Legs short, anterior femora slightly longer than tibiae, posterior 

 tibiae spineless, first segment of tarsi longer than 2nd and 3rd 

 together. 



I. ornithoides, sp. nov. (PI. XXXLI, figs. 6-7). 



Head and pronotum pale ferruginous ; scutellum, apex of cly- 

 peus, sterna (mostly), abdomen etc., black. Clavus pale fulvous, 

 rest of tegmina cinerous ; apical third, a blotch about the middle 

 and most of the costal margin between these dark brownish. 

 C.orium strongly and closely granulate with dark brown, not (or 

 very shortly and scantily) pilose. Femora and tibiae dark brown, 

 tarsi pallid.

Vertex transverse, disk depressed, not carinate medianly, api- 

 cally rounded, very slightly produced before the eyes. Frons 

 widening out apically, medianly carinate, no frontal ocellus. Cly-
