angles which are produced forward in a subtriangular, apically 

 subtruncate lobe almost reaching or slightly passing the level of tlie 

 anterior margin of the eyes, lateral angles subrotundate or oV)- 

 scurely notched, not prominent, postero-lateral and basal margins 

 straight. Scutellum a little longer than broad and about as long- 

 as pronotum and head together, with a small levigate callus near 

 basal angles, lateral margins a little sinuate almost in tlie middle, 

 frena scarcely passing middle of scutellum, the postfrenal part of 

 which is a little longer than broad, gradually somewhat narrowing 

 from, its base to the rounded apex. Hemelytra slightly passing apex 

 of abdomen, rimula reaching far beyond middle of corium, the^ 

 apical margin of which is straight or very slightly sinuate l^efore 

 apical angle, membrane with simple veins. Sterna longitudinally 

 giooved in the middle; metasternal orificia not produced in a fold 

 or furrow. Abdomen beneath furrowed in the middle, unarmed at 

 base, apical angles of the segments scarcely prominent. Tibiae 

 above flattened and margined. 



Allied to Luhentius, Stal, from which it differs in the structure- 

 of the head and pronotum.
