Genus Trpican, Latreille, Stal. 
J. A. 8. B. liii, (2), p. 231. 
Body oblong : head varying in breadth, rarely broader than the 
anterior margin of the thorax ; frons slightly or moderately convex, 
occupying not more than half of the breadth of the face, furnished with 
a longitudinal groove : clypeus subacuminated at the apex or shghtly 
truncated : rostrum short or moderate: ocelli remote from the base of 
the head: sides of thorax rarely a little dilated, very often convex, am- 
plified posteriorly : costal margin of the tegmina not or towards the 
base only a little dilated, ulnar veins very often entirely distant, never 
contiguous; eight apical areas, first apical area extended farther for- 
wards than the second: tympana entirely visible: anterior margin of 
the posterior part of the first dorsal segment of the abdomen not ampli- 
fied in a lobe, straight : last ventral segment in ¢ deeply and broadly 
emarginated : opercula small or moderate, not valvate, rarely contigu- 
ous : first pair of femora spinose beneath (Stal). In Hem. Afric. iv, p. 
26 (1866), Stal distributes the African species of this genus amongst the 
subgenera, Abricta, Abroma, Quintilia, and Epora, to which, in 1870, he 
added Neleynda. The Indian species 7’. brunneus, Fabr., belongs to the 
subgenus Abricta and 1’. apicalis, Germar, to Abroma.
