Head broad, transverse ; eyes large, completely extending across 

 the lateral areas of the head ; antennae with the basal joint much 

 shorter than the head but extending a little beyond its apex, second 

 joint slightly more than twice as long as first, slightly longer than 

 third; ocelli prominent, central, slightly behind the posterior 

 maroin of the eyes ; rostrum with the second joint much longer 

 than the first; pronotum with the anterior lobe subquadrate, 

 longer than the posterior lobe, the anterior angles laminately 

 subangularly moderately prominent, centrally longitudinally im- 

 pressed, posterior lobe less convex and wider than the anterior 

 lobe, its lateral angles subprominent ; seutellum subtriangular, a 

 little foveately depressed before apex which is slender and 

 acuminate ; hemelytra elongate, their costal margins parallel, 

 membrane reaching abdominal apex with three cellular areas, the 

 middle largest, the apical narrow, elongate, subtriangular ; anterior 

 femora considerably thickened, obtusely broadly angulate beneath 

 a little before middle ; anterior tibiae short, somewhat broadly
