 AURUNGABADA gen. nov. 



Head longer than pronotum, longer than broad, deeply transver- 

 sely incised between eyes, the latéral lobes broad and subangularly 

 ampliate, aboutas long as the central lobe which is prominent, the 

 anteocular much longer than the postocular area, ocelli situate on 

 the posterior margin, and much nearer eyes than to each other; 

 antennœ inserted at the extremity of a broad groove in front of 

 eyes, basai joint moderately thickened, not reaching apex of head, 

 third joint longest, fourth a little shorter than fifth which bas an 

 apical hair-like appendage, fourth and fifth joints distinctly sulcate; 

 rostrum of three joints, just passing posterior coxœ; pronotum 

 short, its posterior margin straightly truncate, its anterior margin 

 grooved for the réception of the head, the latéral areas somewhat 

 broadly produced; scutellum slightly less than half the length of 

 abdomen; corium long, membrane very short; posterior and 

 intermediate tibiœ considerably curved and bent, anterior tibiœ a 

 little dilated at apices, ail the tibiœ strongly longitudinally sulcate; 

 femora moderately thickened, the intermediate and posterior 

 slightly curved; tarsi three jointed; metasternal process short, 

 grooved, not extending beyond the intermediate coxœ. 



The exposed spiracles of the basai segment of the abdomen 

 locates this singular genus in the Tessaratominse ; it cannot well be 

 located in the Eusthenaria, and must form the type of a new 

 division.

 and latéral margins of pronotum more or less carminé red; mem-
