MicRANOMALA, gen. nov. 



Body very small, elongate and depressed. Clypeus small, 

 narrowed to the front, where it is strongly reflexed and 

 emarginate, with prominent lateral angles. Clypeal suture 

 strongly marked, carinate and nearly straight. Eyes very 

 large, with the inner margin nearly straight dorsally and 

 very oblique, so that the intervening space is nearly twice as 

 wide behind as in front. Antennae 9-jointed, long and
