Genus Diablepia, g. n. 



Fastigium iiuarly as long before the eyes, as the head behind them ; 

 convex on the median line to the extremity, where it is subcarinated, 

 and curves sliglitly downwards ; the carina is slightly oval, rounded 

 in front, and there is a slight depression between it and the median 

 elevated front of the head. Middle carinse of the face meeting in a 

 point above, but subparallel below, slightly approximating in the 

 middle at the frontal ocellus. Lateral carin;e of the face slender, 

 starting from btdow the antennte, and curving slightly outwards at 

 their lower extremity. Antenna) about 21-jointed, ensiform, 

 broadest and flattest towards the base. Prouotum \ longer than the 

 head ; about twice as long as In'oad, with three well-marked carinas, 

 the lateral ones slightly converging on the hinder part ; transverse 

 sutures barely indicated. Outside the central carin;e are two addi- 

 tional rudimentary carin;e, parallel, and slightly indicated to the 

 front of the fastigium of the vertex, where they meet in a point. 

 Antenna) inserted close to, and just below the front of the e3'es ; 

 face much sloped, deflexed sides of pronotum less so, forming an 

 obtuse angle in front, and almost a right angle behind ; lower side 

 nearly straight, hinder edge of pronotum above slightly projecting 

 behind, almost rectangular, but with the angle rounded off at the 

 extremity. Ttgmina rallier longer than the abdomen, femora and 

 tibi?e rather hairy, femora not very thick, about as l<jng as the abdo- 

 men, Avith the pattern on the outer median area irregular, the angles
