274 FUIGOEID.i:. 



1 give "Walker's description of this genus for two reasons : firstly, 

 because it is evidently on that and Walker's figure that Stal in- 

 cluded Hiracia in his TropiducMna ; and secondly, because the only 

 species recorded from British India is one described and figured 

 by Signoret, which I have not seen, and which may or may not 

 be strictly congeneric.

In his description Signoret refers to his illustration as " fig. 4 '" ; 

 it is, however, correctly lettered on his plate as " fig. 3."

Type, K. Tcarenia, Dist. 



Distribution. Burma. 



Head (including eyes) narrower than pronotum ; A^ertex long, 

 horizontal, medially and marginally carinate, its anterior margin 

 rounded ; antennae inserted beneath the eyes, second joint short, 

 robust ; face long, tricarinate, the margins also finely carinate, 

 the sublateral carinse not quite reaching base, which is angularly 

 emargiuate before clypeus, its apex rounded, the apical margin 

 strongly carinate ; clypeus with a strong medial carination, its 

 lateral margin deflected and simple; rostrum reaching the inter- 

 mediate coxfe ; pronotum almost as long as vertex, strongly 

 medially tricarinate, its posterior margin strongly concavely emar- 

 giuate, beyond the lateral carinas obliquely deflected ; mesonotum 

 triangular, its disk tricarinate, and between the lateral caringe, 

 which are rounded and meet anteriorly, the surface is moderately
