POGONTYPUS. 67 



Genus POGONTYPUS, nov. 



Type, P. comj^licatus, Melicli. 



Distribution. Ceylon. 



Intermediate between Gcm/ara and Machcerottipus. From the 

 first it is distinguished by the larger and more slender posterior 

 pronotal process and also by the strongly cur\ed veins to the 

 apical areas of the tegmina, thus resembling a radical character of 

 the genus Pogon ; from Machcerott/jnis it is separated by the 

 more obliquely curved veins to the tegminal apical areas, and also 

 by the posterior pronotal process which is not strongly elevated 

 above the scutellum, but is almost completely depressed to it and 

 the inner margins of the tegmina.

" Very close to M. discretus, Melich. ; the posterior pronotal 

 process depressed, weakly wave-like, curved, in middle and at tip 

 black; prouotum with three longitudinal keels, middle keel extend- 

 ing from anterior margin of pronotum over the whole surface

and passing into the upper corner of the spine process, lateral 

 keels very short, externally slightly convex; tegmina rusty- 

 yellowish, at base and on costal margin darker ; legs rusty-yellow."

 of figuring this species.

Pronotum ochraceous, its posterior process greyish-white; face, 

 middle and apex of posterior pronotal process and the tegmina 

 dark purplish ; tegmina with a costal spot at about one-fourth 

 from apex and the apical margin greyish-white ; sternum purplish- 

 brown ; abdomen beneath and legs ochraceous, abdominal seg- 

 ments with transverse purphsh-brown fasciae ; prouotum rugulose,
