posteriorly ; posterior tarsi with the basal joint strongly globose ; 

 tegniiua subopaque, the apical margin oblique, costal membrane 

 with numerous transverse carinate lines, apical area transversely 

 veined ; Avings a little broader than tegmina, subhyaline, some 

 transverse veins on their apical areas. 



Mr. Kirby, in describing this genus, stated that he considered 

 it of doubtful position, though he placed it in the Ciccvince. 

 Melichar (supra) has also placed it in that subfamily. The 

 swollen first joint of the posterior tarsi was apparently overlook(n!, 

 or its proper location would have been detected.
