PAllALIMNUS. 395 



Division PARA LUiyuSAEIA. 



Vertex somewhat siibacutely produced in front of eyes, about 

 or nearly twice as broad between eyes as long ; ocelli on the 

 anterior margin very near the eyes. 



I include two genera in this division. 



Sijnopsis of Genera. 



A. Face broad, its margins sinuate before eyes ; 



cheeks not foveate behind eyes '... Paralimntjs, p. .395. 



B. Face louir and narrow, its nlargins not sinuate ; 



cheeks strongly foveate on each side behind 



eyes Aliturus, p. .398. 



Genus PARALIMNUS. 

 Paralimnus, yiatsum. Term^sz. Fiizetek, xxv, p. 386 (1902). 



Type, P. falladosus, Matsum., from the Japanese Islands. 



Distribution. Eastern Palsearctic, Oriental, Malayan and Austra- 

 lasian Regions. 



Vertex somewhat subacutely produced in front of eyes, about 

 twice as broad as long, ocelli on the anterior margin very near 

 eyes, an anterior submarginal and a central longitudinal raised 

 line ; face longer than broad, sinuate near eyes, the base subacutely 

 rounded, about twice as long as clypeus ; prouotum longer than 

 vertex, deflected on each side, arcuately transversely impressed 

 before anterior margin, anterior margin produced between eyes, 

 posterior margin a little concavely sinuate ; scutellum broad, 

 basal broader than length of either lateral margin, transversely 

 impressed before apex ; legs moderate, tibiae strongly spinulose ; 

 tegmina longer than the abdomen, four apical cells, three ante- 

 apical cells, a transverse vein on disk. 



Matsumura describes the apical cells of the tegmina as three in 

 number, according to my view they are four, a difference pre- 

 sumably owing to the way in which these cells are individually 

 regarded.

The following is Melichar's description of his T. cdhoguttulatv.s, 

 which clearly appears to apply to Walker's lateralis. 



" Rusty -brown, a little shining ; vertex in middle as long as 

 behind, between the eyes broad, in front angularly produced, 

 above arched, the disk somewhat obliquely bent with a middle line 

 running to the tip, on border a transverse line running from one 

 eye to the other pale yellowish-white margined above and below 

 by a black line, close to it a similar narrow arched transverse line
