 CONA, n. g. 

 Body oblong-oval. Head mucb narrower tban the pronotum ; 

 vertex sub-quadrate, less than half the breadth of an eye, hind margin 

 between the eyes, which extend for more than half their length behind 

 it, straight ; disc with a somewhat A-shaped keel (decidedly narrowed 

 beyond the cross of the A), and a weaker longitudinal keel which is 

 sometimes obsolete. Prons elliptic, truncate at each end, sides sharply 

 keeled, centre with two (approximate) longitudinal keels gradually 

 meeting at base and apex. Clypeus with keeled margins and convex 

 or obtusely keeled disc. Antenns9 long, equal in length to three- 

 fourths of the clypeus and frons taken together, slightly compressed, 

 1st joint widened upwards, 2nd joint a little longer than the 1st. 

 Pronotum short, more than four times broader than long, front margin 

 truncate behind the vertex ; with a central longitudinal keel, and a 

 keel on each side which, starting from the centre of the front margin, 

 goes in a double curve to the hind angle. Scutellum with five 

 keels, the outer one on each side more oblique, the intermediate some- 

 times rather obsolete. Tegmina in macropterous ( ^ and ? ) examples 

 a little longer than the abdomen, rounded at the apex ; elavus with 

 two veins which unite beyond the middle, the single vein thus formed 

 ending on the inner margin before the apex ; corium with three veins 

 united near the base, the outer vein forked before, and the inner 

 beyond, the middle ; six long apical cells ; neuration sometimes, but 

 rarely, variable. In brachypterous (?) individuals, the tegmina are 

 about half the length of the abdomen, truncately rounded at the apex, 

 with the elavus and corium connate, and the neuration rather confused. 

 Wings in macropterous examples about three-fourths the length of 

 the abdomen.
