side. Lateral find dorsiil tubercles absent. Coruiolos lou.u;. si'.idually swollen 

 ou tlie distal lialf. CaiKli shorter than the eoruicle, stont, longer tliau wide, 

 broadest at the base, tapering. Tarsi uornird. 



(Winged form). Body without cai^itate hairs. Frontal tubercles \evy 

 short. Antennae with circular seusiivia ; the 1st jV>iut with a small tuliercle. 

 Wing-veins normal. 



Type — Neojihoroihm ruin Takah. 



This genus is closely allied to Pliorodon Pass, and 3Iuisu/imraJ(i Schiiiu 

 (syn. Acanthaphis Mats.), Ijut diliers from the former in lacking projec^tions on 

 the frontal tubercles, and from the latter in having no tulierdes on the dorsum 

 of the abdomen. Neophorolon is also allied to Akkak' Takah., I.nit it is dis- 

 tinguished from the latter bj' the 6-jointed antenna;, the lack of prcijectious 

 on the frontal tubercles, the smaller anal plate, etc. 



Neophorodon rubi Takah.
