posteriorly, strong'ly carinate niedianly. Eyes prominent, but 

 not extending lateral!}- nearly as f'ar as the pronotuni. Frons 

 more than twice as long as broad, strongly carinate medianly. 

 Pronotnm deeply acutangularly emarginate, with a stroiig 

 median keel, and a lateral oblique one on each side. Scutellimi 

 longer than vertex and pronotum together, with 3 strong keels, 

 the lateral ones sinuate, uniting anteriorly wifh the median. 

 Radial and median veins nearly approximate at base, the former 

 forking somewhat near the base, outer branch reVDrkinj^ ; median 

 not forked: cubital forked a little nearer the apex than the 

 radial. Costal cell with about 12 simple crossveins; subcostal 

 cell present. A large number of apical cells and about 8 sub- 

 apicals. Tibiae with 3 spines. 



(I do not think Eporci Melichar is the same as /ipora Walker, 

 or as Pcltodictya, as Melichar does not show even one clear sub- 

 apical line.)

Allied to the last described, but with only one at all regular 

 su'bapical line, and the frons has oblique keels. 



Vertex anteriorly rounded, transverse, extending a little in 

 front of eyes, medianly carinate on the basal two-thirds; pos- 

 teriorly acutely emarginate. Frons about twice as long as 

 wide, ^medianly keeled on the basal three-fourths. Clypeus cari- 

 nate medianly, the keel (at the apical margin of frons) proceed- 

 ing straig-ht on eac'h side of median keel for more than lialf of 

 frontal length, not quite reaching lateral keels. Clypeus keeled 

 laterally. Pronotum wider posteriorlv than head, carinate 

 medianly, lateral keels curved convergingly, meeting anteriorly 

 in an acute an'gle; anteriorly nearly on a level with anterior 

 margin of eyes, posteriorly deeply acutely emarginate. Scutel- 

 lum about as long as vertex and pronotum together, tricarinate; 

 the lateral keels meeting anteriorly. Tegmina elongate, costal 

 cell broadened posteriorly, with some 18 or 19 simple trans- 

 verse veins; subcostal cell present. Radial forked near base, 

 cubital foi^ked close to it, a little nearer apical margin; median
