  each 
  considerably 
  longer 
  than 
  first; 
  antenniferous 
  

   tubercles 
  distinctly 
  spined 
  ; 
  pronotum 
  twice 
  as 
  broad 
  at 
  base 
  

   as 
  long, 
  the 
  anterior 
  angles 
  shortly 
  spinous, 
  lateral 
  angles 
  

   subprominent 
  and 
  subacute, 
  lateral 
  margins 
  moderately 
  

   sinuate, 
  anterior 
  and 
  posterior 
  margins 
  truncate 
  ; 
  scutellum 
  

   as 
  long 
  as 
  head 
  and 
  pronotum 
  together, 
  the 
  apex 
  subangu- 
  

   larly 
  rounded 
  ; 
  corium 
  with 
  the 
  inner 
  apical 
  margin 
  rounded, 
  

   membrane 
  with 
  the 
  veins 
  simple, 
  not 
  anastomosed 
  ; 
  con- 
  

   nexivum 
  exposed 
  from 
  basal 
  half 
  of 
  corium, 
  the 
  segmental 
  

   angles 
  moderately 
  distinct 
  ; 
  rostrum 
  reaching 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  

   abdomen, 
  first 
  joint 
  about 
  reaching 
  the 
  middle 
  of

   second 
  joint 
  extending 
  to 
  intermediate 
  coxae, 
  third 
  joint 
  

   passing 
  posterior 
  coxae;

  Allied 
  to 
  Linens, 
  Stal, 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  differs 
  by 
  the 
  broader 
  

   and 
  truncate 
  anterior 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  pronotum 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  

   short 
  anterior 
  angles 
  of 
  same 
  ; 
  from 
  Phereclus, 
  Stal, 
  it 
  is 
  to 
  

   be 
  distinguished 
  by 
  the 
  different 
  structure 
  of 
  the 
  antennae 
  

   &c. 
  ; 
  from 
  Ochlerus 
  it 
  is 
  separated 
  by 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  

   lateral 
  lobes 
  of 
  the 
  head.

  Walker 
  writes 
  u 
  lateral 
  lobes 
  not 
  extending

   middle

  but 
  this 
  is 
  incorrect 
  ; 
  the 
  sanguineous 
  spot 
  to 
  

   the 
  corium 
  is 
  very 
  distinct 
  ;

  corium 
  thickly

  punctate.
