NEW LACEBUGS—DRAKE AND RUHOFF 179 
ostiole and obliquely, narrow channel on each metapleuron. Hypo- 
costal lamina long, uniseriate. Abdomen very broad. 
Pronotum, except for median part of collum and posterior part of 
hind pronotal process concealed by the enormous thimblelike refiexed 
paranota; median carina raised, very distinct, without areolae, the 
lateral pair concealed by paranota, also median carina on pronotal 
disc; paranotum enormous (fig. 19b), shaped like an inverted thimble, 
basal length and greatest height nearly subequal (130:125); each 
paranotum conceals a subglobose, honeycombed outgrowth of pro- 
notum as illustrated in figure 190. 
Elytra wide, sutural areas only partly overlapping in repose; costal 
area wide, mostly four areolae deep; subcostal area wide, divided by 
a longitudinal vein, with one row of nearly upright areolae, the wider 
inner part distinctly longitudinally sulcate, mostly three areolae wide; 
discoidal area large, about two-thirds as long as the elytron, bounded 
on all sides by an elevated vein, seven or eight areolae deep in widest 
part; sutural area on same horizontal level as discoidal area, with 
larger areolae. Male unknown. 
Tyres: Holotype (female), Malacca, Southern Malay Peninsula, 
USNM 65131. Paratypes, 2 specimens, Sandakan, Borneo, all taken 
by C. F. Baker. 
Remarks: The holotype of P. oresbius is illustrated in figure 19. 
The species is separated from P. verdicus by the much larger paranota, 
exposed lateral carinae on posterior process of pronotum, and narrower 
costal areas. In all of the described species of the genus Penoitus 
Distant, the large subglobose honeycomb structure is present under 
each of the inverted thimblelike paranota. The function of these 
paired, pronotal structures is unknown.
