very narrow in front, the apical margin hardly more than 
one-third as long as the base, sides very narrowly reflexed 
in front, and diverging in nearly straight lines till just 
above the level of the transverse callosity, where they are 
very slightly angulated, and thence diverge less rapidly 
in rather sinuate lines to the posterior angles, base very 
shallowly sinuate, disc with a deep transverse impression 
near the base, anda strongly-raised elevation in front of it ; 
scutellum black, shining at the base, slightly impressed 
towards the apex, where it is transversely wrinkled, and 
dull; elytra ochreous-brown, slightly darker at the sides 
and apex; membrane dusky, pale at the base; legs with 
the femora black-brown, tibize and tarsi testaceous.

This genus is composed of numerous very closely allied 
species; Dr. Puton gives thirteen in his Catalogue, of 
which six have been recorded from this country. The 
specific characters lie chiefly in the nature of the surface 
of the various parts of the elytra, as pointed out by 
Dr. Reuter; these characters, although “ critical,’ seem to 
be well maintained in the different species. The following 
characters will distinguish the genus from its allies. Head 
with the eyes not touching the pronotum ; ocelli placed 
posteriorly, close to the inner margins of the eyes; antennz 
with the second joint not nearly so long as the third and 
fourth together; rostrum short, reaching to about the 
anterior cox; pronotum with a well-marked apical collar, 
sides behind it more or less rounded, base largely sinuate ; 
scutellum impressed at the apex ; elytra always developed, 
their sides subparallel or slightly rounded; legs simple, 
posterior coxa close together, the metasternum produced
