terior IoIh? with a longitudinal inipiessiou in the middle of its 

 anterior half. Seiitelluni equilaterally triangular, its basal half 

 with a triangular, medially somewhat impressed elevation emitting 

 A keel to the apex. Presternum about as long as meso- and meta- 

 .sternum together; posterior margin of metapleura straight, form- 

 ing a right angle w'ith the lateral margin. Hemelytra entirely 

 <'overing the abdomen, corium with the median vein distinct in its* 

 apical part, obliterated toward the base, the costal margin straight 

 in its basal third, then somewhat ampliately rounded, apical margin 

 straight, shorter than the claval suture, clavus with three rows of 

 punctures, its commisstire shorter than half the length of the 

 scutellum. the next inmost vein of the mend^rane curved strongly 

 inwards in its basal half. Abdomen with the connexivum reflected, 

 the sutures of the three basal ventral segments cienulate, fourth 

 segment anterioidy with two sublateral glandular sjpots Vmt witli 

 no such spot near the posterior margin, sixth male ventral segment 

 deeply emarginate at apex with the apical angles very acute, male 

 g;enital segment with a small oblong tubercle near apex. Front 

 femora incrassated, beneath in the whole apical half longitudinally 

 impressed, the impression terminated on its anterior side by a row 

 of very small thick-set teeth with one much larger tootli in tht 

 middle of the row, in the male moreover provided with a small 

 tubercle at the basal end of the impression; all tibiae almost bare, 

 without spine-like bristles, front tibiae straight, in the female

 the two other joints together. 



This genus is on the whole more related to Uri/i/ias, Fieb., wliicli 

 is chiefly represented in the Palearctic i-egion, than to any other 

 •descrilied genus, and in its general aspect it is also rather similar 

 to that genus, from which it differs mainly by the longer head with 

 more projecting clypeus and longer rostrum, by the structuie of 

 the scutellum, the differently curved costal margin of tlie corium, 

 the lack of distinct foveae in front of the fore acetabula, the shajje 

 ■of the sixth male ventral segment, and the somewhat differently 

 armed fore femora.
