to the bead, testaceous ; thoracic spines very acute ; the lateral 

 margins of the thorax in front entirely unarmed, behind with two 

 or three minute teeth, the last forming a distinct angle; hinder 

 edge of thorax slightly concave. Scutellum Avith the extreme base 

 testaceous, expanding into spots at the sides ; the tip may also 

 possibly be testaceous. Inner angle of the corium with one or 



two small white spots Antennae, membrane, abdomen, legs, 



under surface &c. as in G. lirhii, but with a rather more distinct 

 row of black dots on the sides of the abdomen." (Kirhi/.)

Division HYDAliAlilA. 

 Ilydararia, Stal, En. Hem. iii, p. 37 (1873). 



A Division at present consisting of two genera, both of which 

 have been hitherto regarded as entirely Ethiopian. We are now 

 able to describe an Oriental species belonging to one of those 

 genera, and it is probable that other species remain to be dis- 

 covered. 



The Hydararia may be at once recognized by the clavate apices 

 of the anteunal basal joint, and the somewhat less clavate apices 

 of the femora. 



Genus HYDARA.

 u, pp. 5 & 73 (18(35); id. En. Hem. iii, p. 80 (1873j. 



Type, H. temiieornis, Westw., from Africa and Madagascar. 



Distribution. Ethiopian and Oriental Regions. 



Head subquadrate, slightly anteriorly produced ; ocelli placed 

 much nearer to the eyes than to each other ; antennae very long 

 and slender, basal joint as long as the head and pronotum together, 

 or longer, and suddenly clavate at apex, about as long as third 

 joint, second shorter but longer than fourth ; rostrum reaching 

 the posterior coxa?, first joint about reaching the base of head ; 

 body elongate with the sides nearly straight ; pronotum with the 

 lateral angles spinous ; legs slender, apices of the femora mode- 

 rately thickened. 



This genus has previously only been represented by a species 

 received from South and West Africa and Madagascar.
