CYDNOPELTUS. 



103 



Disfributloii. As fit present known, a single species ranges from 

 Burma to New (xuinea. 



The principal distinguishing characters of this genus are the 

 membrane much larger than the corium ; scutellum short, rounded 

 at the apex ; second joint of the antenna3 minute and scarcely 

 AJsible ; the apical margin of the corium not well defined, ]iot 

 distinctl}' separated from the base of the membrane. 



Signoret's description of his previously described genus is the 

 most correct. Walker altogether overlooked the short second 

 joint of the antennae, which he described as four-jointed.

Type, C. JiorvatJii, Sign. A Javan species. 



Distribution. At present only recorded from Burma and Java. 



Differing from Bmcliypelta by the median lobe of the head not 

 being enclosed by the lateral lobes ; by the equilateral scutellum, 

 the concave anterior disk of the pronotum, &c.

Pale castaneous ; antenna? with the apices of the joints dis- 

 tinctly paler ; head somewhat irregularly, coarsely and longi- 

 tudinally carinate; pronotum depressed and levigate near anterior 

 margin, where there is a distinct central longitudinal incision, 

 remaining area sparingly punctate and with a transverse ceutral 

 incision ; scutellum sparingly punctate and transversely wrinkled
