what triangular, rounded outwardly. Antenna considerably longer 

 than the body ; 1st joint as long as the head and | of the thorax, 

 almost cylindrical, slightly thickened and bent before the middle, 

 its entire length reaching beyond the face ; 2nd slender, more than 

 twice the length of the 1st ; 3rd and 4th filiform, together longer 

 than the 2nd ; 4th f the length of the 3rd. JiJ^es large, prominent, 

 viewed from above oval, their outer margin projecting almost in a 

 line with the hinder angles of the pronotum, from the side sub- 

 globose. Mostrum stoutish, reaching almost to the end of the 

 mesosteruum ; 1st joint shorter than the head ; 2nd and 3rd each 

 longer than the 1st ; 4th as long as the 1st. 



Thorax — Pronotum longish, trapeziform, with a collar in fx'ont ; nearly 

 as long as the breadth on the posterior margin ; anterior margin 

 concave, angles acute ; sides margined in front, slightly rounded 

 for about f their length, then widened out to the raised obtuse 

 hinder angles ; posterior margin slightly concave ; disc with a 

 large callosity extending from side to side, and occupying nearly 

 the half of the length behind the collar, in its centre an inverted 

 cordate depression, the hinder portion longitudinally flat, trans- 

 versely flattish convex. Scutellum large, triangular, flattish, level 

 with the clavus. Elytra horizontal, as long as the abdomen. 

 Glavus' without a flexible suture, flat as far as the nerve, then 

 slightly deflected to the corium. Corium horizontal, flat above, sides 

 between the 1st nerve and the anterior margin convex ; 1st nerve 

 slender, extending to the rounded apex, a little before which it is 

 met by the stout posterior branch of a furcate nerve, having its 

 base at the apex of the clavus, the inner branch also joins the Isfc 

 nerve diagonally and forms with the former a somewhat spherical 

 triangular cell. Membrane represented by a narrow stem-like strip 

 extending only along the posterior margin to the apex. Legs 

 longish, thin ; thighs somewhat cylindrical j tarsi long ; 1st joint 

 of the 3rd pair as long as the 2nd and half the 3rd ; 3rd longer 

 than the second.
