Traxus New Genus. 



Orthotype Traxus fidvus n. sp. 



This genus is close to Hysteroptenun Amyot and Serville but it 

 may be recognized by its general rugose appearance, triangularly in- 

 cised vertex, narrowly i^arallel-sided concave frons. 



Vertex short, about four times as broad as its median length ; an- 

 terior margin deeply incised, the lateral margins nearly one and one- 

 half times as long as the median length; frons narrow, tricarinate, 

 nearly parallel-sided, the margins finely crenulate; clypeus small, re- 

 flexed ; antennae short, second segment globular ; pronotum about twice 

 as long as the vertex, strongly produced anteriorly ; mesonotum about 

 as long as the pronotum, tricarinate; the lateral carina strongly 

 elevated and tuberculate; fore wings rugulose and reticulate, the 

 corium broadly expanded and the clavus elevated; no submarginal 

 veins; posterior tibiae with strong spine at the middle, and another 

 near the apex. 



Traxus fulvus u. sp. 



Figs. 62, 238, 239, 532, 474 



This species may be recognized by its general ochraceous orange 

 color with the clypeus and coxae black. 



Frons concave deeply emarginate dorsally, the carin^e very irregu- 

 lar the lateral margins nearly parallel crenulate, suddenly constricted
