Head almost conical in shape, about as long as wide, eyes elongate, 

 internal margins divergent anteriorly, slightly removed from prono- 

 tum; seen from the side almost touching basal segment of antennae, 

 reaching the gula below, upper margin of eye slightly below upper 

 margin of head, beset with short, erect hairs. Rostrum reaching 

 approximately to apical margin of first coxae, first segment shorter 

 than the others, which are subequal in length. 



Antennae inserted near middle of front margin of eye, first segment 

 about three times shorter than the second, thicker than the remaining, 

 shortly pilose, second segment incrassate towards the apex, at widest 

 portion subequal to first, third and fourth slender, longer than the 

 first, pilose; first segment attaining only the apex of clypeus. 



Pronotum with two distinct, transversally impressed grooves 

 minutely punctate at bottom (punctures only visible with high 

 magnification), imparting trilobed appearance to pronotum; the middle 

 lobe bisected longitudinally by a similarly impressed furrow, collar 

 wide, convex, and prominent, disc smooth with very long, semierect 

 setiform pubescence, lateral margins almost straight, roundish pos- 

 teriorly, almost cariuate behind collar, hind margin broadly rounded; 

 mesoscutum covered, scutellum flat with pointed apex, 



Hemielytra smooth with pubescence similar to that of pronotum, 

 clavus with a line of punctures along claval vein, brachial vein 

 scarcely attaining apex of clavus, embolium almost evanescent on 

 apical third, linear and slightly incrassate basally, cuneus declivous, 

 about as long as wide at base, cuneal fracture well marked with 

 distinct incisure, external margin noticeably emarginate near incisure; 

 membrane with one areola, the vein rather wide and noticeably 

 thickened with a slight fold along apical third of inner margin of 

 cuneus. 



Underside distinctlj^ more shining, abdomen becoming prominently 

 pilose towards the apex, peritreme large and pruinose ; legs of moderate 

 length, femora incrassate, covered by short pubescence, hind pair 

 Nvith two or three long setae about as long as width of femur arising 

 from a pruinose area on apical lower third; tibiae without spines, 

 finely pubescent, the hairs arranged in rows; tarsi with two basal 

 segments about equal in length, together longer than the third, claws 

 very small with a blunt basal lobe, of the Deraeocorinae type. 



Type of genus: 7 ermatophyloides pilosvlus, new species. 



This genus differs from Termatophylum Renter, 1884, in the very 

 long and semierect setiform pubescence and the characteristic trans- 

 verse punctate furrow of the pronotum.
