PAUALINDKIA, D. gen. 



Head large, transverse and nearly as broid as the prothorax. 

 Eyes lateral, prominent, rather small and finely grannlated. An- 

 tenna' moderately long, eleven-jointed ; the basal article somewhat 

 wedge-shaped and longer than the following ones, second to eighth 

 very short, the club rather elongate and composed of three 

 joints. Lahrum rather large, very convex ; anterior margin 

 rounded and clothed with very fine bristly hairs. ]\[andibles 

 large, prominent, slightly curved and simple. Maxillie rather 

 long; both loljes narrow, Avith the sides nearly parallel, and the 

 anterior margin clothed with short hairs;* the outer lobe rounded 

 in front, the inner oblique and armed at the internal angle Avith 

 a small sharply pointed spine. IMaxillary palpi four-jointed, the 

 first very slightly longer than broad, second much longer, third 

 about as long as the first, the terminal joint nearly as long as the 

 second and third together and rounded at the extremity. Labium 

 slightly emarginate in front, sides of the emargination oblique ; 

 with a feeble longitudinal ridge extending from the anterior mar- 

 gin to just before the base. Labial palpi slender and rather long, 

 composed of three moderately long sub-equal joints, of which the 

 apical is much broader at the apex than at the base. Prothorax 

 transverse, rounded at the sides. Scutellum roxuided posteriorly. 

 Elytra with the sides parallel, rounded behind. Legs rather long; 

 the femora comparatively short ; tibia; dilated towards the apex, 

 and armed on their outer sides with prominent and acute spines ; 

 tarsi slender and moderately long, claAvs simple. 



This genus is allied to Alindria, Erichs. In collections it 

 should, I think, be placed between that genus and Melambia.

 vex and shining. Head considerably broader than long, \evy
