450 Mr. John Scott on certain 



APHALARINiE. 



Thea,* n. g. 



Caput inter ociilos longitudine sua media duplo latius. 

 Verticis margo posterior tantum non rectus ; latera ejus 

 recta a basi usque ad oculorum angulos anticos, ubi 

 in dentem brevem crassum triangulum sunt producta ; 

 deinde ab horum angulo-interiore basali ad marginem 

 anteriorem continuata ; margo anterior longitudine media 

 vix latior, subconcavus, yel angulatus ; anguli anguste 

 rotundati. Lobi faciales angusti, tfeniiforines. Anten- 

 narum articuli primus et secundus brevea, crassi ; tertius 

 quartum versus attenuatiis, hie sexta fere parte longior 

 quam ille; articuli octavus, Iionus, decimus, carent. Oculi 

 laterales, latitudine fere tota ultra pronotum exstantes. 

 Ocelli tres. Thorax : pronotum angustum.. Mesonotum 

 convexum, latitude ejus juxta elytrorum insertionem 

 capitis cum oculis latitudini fere fequalis. Elytra elongata, 

 apice acuta ; stigma breve ; radius longus, apice ipsa 

 terminatus ; cubiti furca superior brachio longior ; 

 petiolus brachio inferiore paulo longior. 



Head twice as broad between the eyes as the length 

 down the centre. Crown : posterior margin almost 

 straight ; sides straight from the base to the front of 

 the eyes, where they are produced into a short, stout, 

 triangular tooth, then continued from the inner angle of 

 the base of .the latter to the junction with- the' anterior 

 margin ; anterior margin scarcely as broad as the length 

 down . the centre, slightly concave or angulate ; angles 

 narrowly rounded. Face lobes narrow, ribbon-shaped, 

 Antennse: 1st and 2nd joints short, stout; third tapering 

 to the fourth, the latter about one-sixth longer than the 

 former ; 8, 9, 10 joints wanting. Eyes placed on the 

 sides' of the head, projecting nearly their whole width 

 beyond the pronotum. Ocelli three. Thorax: pronotum 

 narrow ; mesonotum convex, breadth across the inser- 

 tion of the elytra about equal to that of the head and 

 eyes together. Elytra elongate, apex acute ; stigma 

 short ; radius long, terminating in the apex ; cubitus, 

 upper furcation longer than the arm ; petiole a little 

 longer than the lower arm.
