 Lispoloplms, Bergr. {Androgeus, Stal), which I do not know, but 

 differs in the strong punctuation of the pronotum." (Breddin.)

" Shining black, the narrow lateral margin of the pronotum, 

 including the shoulder humps, and the tegmina pale rusty yellow, 

 the punctuation of the latter, a dash on middle of clavus, as well 

 as a Mashed-out large irregular suffusion in the inner angle of the 

 corium, which includes a paler nucleus, pitchy brown ; membrane 

 quite pale smoky-grey, base and veins pure hyaline ; femora 

 black, turning into pale rusty brown at the end ; tibiae, tarsi, and 

 antennae pale rusty yellow, the terminal joint of the latter 

 (exclusive of basal fourth) brownish ; rostrum pitchy black ; end 

 of abdomen frequently pitchy brownish ; on marginal keel of 

 pronotum a long perpendicular yellowish bristle." {Breddin.)

 species with which I am acquainted. Breddin compared it with 

 both the genera Lispohplms and Diniella and was apparently 

 uncertain of its proper location.
