518 Mr. W. L. Distant on Homoptera 
AWANIA, gen. nov. 
Body oblong-ovate; head with two prominent, porrect subacute 
tubercles at base of head just beneath the anterior margin of the 
pronotum, and above the ocelli which are about as far apart from 
each other as from eyes, the tubercles are very plainly seen from 
above; pronotum convexly gibbous, the lateral angles obsoletely 
subprominent, the central longitudinal carination acute and con- 
tinued along the posterior process which is somewhat slender beyond 
the base, tricarinate, concavely sinuate, and extending beyond the 
claval apex of the tegmen, it is also well separated from the tegminal 
suture, its apex acute; tegmina more than twice as long as broad, 
with four long apical cells and two subapical cells; legs moderately 
long, the tibiae not prominently dilated, the posterior tibiae out- 
wardly shortly, closely robustly serrate. Scutellum complete and 
visible beneath the raised posterior pronotal process. 
I place this genus in my division Gargararia, and its 
principal characteristic is found in the porrect prominent 
tubercles at the base of head. 
Type. A. typica, Dist. 
Awania typica, sp. n. 
Head, pronotum, scutellum, body beneath and legs black, the 
greater part of the intermediate tibiae and the basal areas of the 
tarsi, pale castaneous; tegmina shining pale ochraceous, the base 
and the venation black; head and pronotum subrugulose and 
coarsely punctate; the posterior pronotal process is also coarsely 
punctate on each lateral area; other structural characters as in 
generic diagnosis. 
Long. 7 mm. 
Hab. Oni, near Lagos, 1912 (W. A. Lamborn—Oxford 
Mus.). The unique type was the prey of an Asilid fly 
captured by Mr. Lamborn.

OSSANA, gen. nov. 
Head with the vertex broad and narrow, including eyes which 
are broader than long, reaching the anterior angles of the pronotum 
but not so broad as the posterior pronotal angles, front including 
face almost or about as long as broad, ocelli on face between the 
eyes, nearer to eyes than to each other; clypeus slightly broadened 
posteriorly, its apex truncate; pronotum moderately convex, about
