a. Tegmiua with two transverse lines formed 



of transverse veins on apical area before 



apical margin Melicharia. p. 430. 



b. Tegmina with a single transverse line 



formed of transverse veins on apical area 



before apical margin IIilavrita, p. 432. 



c. Tegmina without a transverse line before 



apical margin. 



a. Tegmina with an apical marginal series 



of longitudinal cellular areas formed 

 by the furcation of the longitudinal 

 veins.

Head (including eyes) a little narro\^er than pronotum ; vertex 

 mucb broader than long, centrally and laterally strongly carinate, 

 a little obliquely broadened anteriorly, the anterior margin trun- 

 cate ; face broad with a central carination extending about half- 

 way from base, tbe lateral margins very broadly reflexed ; clypeus 

 elongate ; posterior tibia? witb two spines, tbe apical one short 

 pronotum a little longer than vertex, distinctly centrally carinate 

 mesonotuni long, tricarinate ; tegmina about one and a half times 

 or nearly twice, as long as broad, the costal margin veiy slightly 

 rounded, tbe apical margin truncate, tlie posterior margin nearly 

 straight, costal membrane a little wider than tbe radial area, the 

 former strongly transversely veined, some of tbe veins furcate, 

 the latter more sparingly and somewhat reticulately veined, first 

 longitudinal vein emitted from radial vein close to its base, second 

 longitudinal vein from upper end of cell, both strongly furcate 

 before middle, two transverse lines formed of transverse veins on
