This genus seems to stand lietween Tricciitnis Stal and 

 Gargara Am. and Serv. It is to be distinguished from the 

 former genus l\y the absence of horns abo\e the humeral angles, 

 and from the latter by the presence of armed trochanters. In 

 shape of body and general facies it most resembles the larger 

 forms of Gargara Init this latter genus has been distinctly 

 limited to those forms wliicli liave the posterior trochanters 

 unarmed. 



The genus is established to admit the following species of 

 which I have both male and female specimens. 



XVI. CeHfrotoscchi.s tgpiis gen. nov., sp. nov. 

 (Figs. '.] and 4) 



Ferruginous-brown; pronotum finely and densely punctate 

 and sparsely covered with grayish hairs. Pronotum convex, 

 highest above lateral angles; lateral angles obtuse. Posterior 

 process long, narrow, gradually acuminate, somewhat concave 

 before extremity, slightly depressed at tip, extending some- 

 what beyond internal angles of tegiuina ; median ridge distinct 

 at apex and becoming obsolete in thorax. Head short, broad, 

 densely pilose with long grayish hairs. Antenna; prominent. 

 Ocelli farther from each other than from the eyes. Eyes brown 

 with darker fascia. Tegmina subhyaline, brown and punctate 

 at base, very narrow brown transverse stripe behind middle

 ish, claws black. Segments of abdomen margined with white 

 above. 



Male smaller, darker, markings of tegmina more prominent 

 especially the brown cloud at apex.

Width at humeral angles, female, 2.5 mm. ; male 2.2.
