Genus Dounpusia, Am. & Serv. 
Am. et Serv., Hist. Nat. Ins. Hém. p. 470 (1843): Stal, Hem. Afric. iv. p. 5 
(1866). 
Head triangular: frons large, very convex, transversely sulcated, 
with a longitudinal groove in the middle: pronotum not amphated on the 
lateral margins: cheeks without a tubercle: rostrum not or barely reach- 
ing the base of the posterior cox: opercula long, extending beyond the 
middle of the venter, very often to the last segment. 
This and the remaining genera of this group have been so imper- 
fectly worked out, and the synonymy is so defective, that it is impossible 
for any one in this country to do more than indicate the recorded species. 
Walker’s work here is particularly untrustworthy, and his descriptions 
quite unintelligible.
