Tortor gen. nov. 



Probably allied tq Dryadoiiwrplia ; the vertex is however not 

 depressed and is more rounded anteriorly. 



Vertex flattish, slightly raised towards the middle from the 

 lateral margins, about as long as wide across the small eyes, 

 lateral margins converging anteriorly, apical margin roundly an- 

 gulate. Frons concave, raised laterally, clyj^eus more or less fus- 

 ed, lora minute. In profile the head is thin, the lateral margins 

 are flattened, narrowing apicalwards ; ocelli very indistinct rudi- 

 ments on this flattened part, at about half the length of the head. 

 Pronotum transverse, about three-fourths the length of the ver- 

 tex, longer than the scutelium. Tegmina elongate, subcoria- 

 ceous, veins very indistinct; the radial appears to be undivided 

 almost till the apex of the tegmina, while the median is joined 

 to cubital at least 5 or ft times by sho.rt, transverse veins.
