Melichar {supra) has included in the synonymy of this species 

 the Cyrene fusiformis. Walk., and its synonym Chalepus ancono- 

 pTioroidcs, AValk., both of which belong to the genus CJialejms and 

 appertain to the family Cercopidte. He also includes the C. obtusata 

 of Noualhier, \\hich seems clearly to be also a species of Chalej_ms 

 or an allied genus.

Head (including eyes) distinctly narroA\er than the pronotum ; 

 vertex subquadrate, its margins ridged ; face about one and a half 

 times as long as broad, a little rounded before clypeus, centrally 

 carinate, but the carination obliterated before clypeus and with a 

 subbasal transverse angulated ridge, between which and the basal 

 margin are two foveations ; clypeus non-carinate ; pronotum an- 

 gularly produced behind the vertex, the base truncate ; mesonotum 

 slightly louger than the pronotum, with a central carination, less 

 than twice as long as broad ; legs long, posterior tibiae with five 

 spines ; tegmina a little longer than the abdomen, the costal 

 margin slightly convex, the radial vein bifurcate near base, the 

 upper longitudinal vein bifurcate near apex, the second longi- 

 tudinal vein bifurcate before middle, the two latter united before 

 middle by a distinct transverse veinlet ; longitudinal veins 

 prominent, and between them a number of obscure veinlets, thus 

 rendering the whole surface faintly reticulate.
