Genus Tettilobus, nov. 

 (See diagnostic table.) 



Eesembling Cladonotus, Saussure. Body depressed ; vertex on 

 each side next to the eyes aciiminate produced, spiniforni, the 

 vertical spines often elevated above the eyes ; facial scutellum 

 having the rami little separated, subparallel and not concave. 

 Pronotum anteriorly truncate, tricarinate, little compressed ; median 

 carina cristulate-sinuate ; dorsum profoundly impressed between the 

 shoulders, process behind often angularly excised or narrowly 

 acuminate, often reaching to the apex of the posterior femora ; 

 lateral lobes of pronotum distinctly laminate expanded, either 

 obliquely truncate and minutely serrate or erose spiniform. Elytra 

 and wings wanting. Anterior and middle femoral margins strongly 

 lobato-spinose, the tibiae having the superior margins bidentate ; 

 posterior femora strongly lobato-spinose, the superior external area 

 plurigibbose, the carina3 often bearing produced tubercles or spines ; 

 posterior tibial margins armed with spines ; first articles of the 

 posterior tarsi subequal in length, the first and second pulvilli 

 minute or subobsolete. 



The type is T. spinifrons, described herewith. The 

 species Cladonotus interruptuSy Bolivar, also belongs to this 

 new genus. 



1. T. spinifi'ons, sp. nov. (Plate XXII, fig. 4.)

 of the small globose eyes, bearing a small aciite produced spine on 

 each side next to the eyes, projecting much above the eyes ; facial 

 carina above depressed, scutellum in prolile having the rami strongly 

 angularly protuberant slightly above the point of insertion of the 

 antennae ; posterior ocelli placed between the inferior part of the
