tegmina bronzy brown, extreme basal area black, narrow 

 costal area piceous, black at base, immediately beyond the 

 black basal area a macular transverse pale ochraceous fascia; 

 ocelli about as far from eyes as from each other ; face very 

 strongly deflected ; pronotum unarmed, coarsely punctate, 

 the disk elevated, posterior process somewhat slender, strongly 

 tricarinafe, at a distance from scutellum, straightly obliquely 

 deflected from near base, and impinging on inner margin of 

 tegmina near its posterior angle ; scutellum with the apex 

 upwardly recurved. 



Long, fi^ mm. ; breadth lat. pronot. angl. 3 mm.

The genus Demanga was founded for the reception of an 

 Indian species ; it is now also found to be represented in the 

 Ethiopian Region. 



Promitor, gen. nov. 



Pronotum elevated, practically unarmed, strongly cen- 

 trally longitudinally carinate, on each side near base an 

 irregular foveate spot, the margin of which is strongly irregu- 

 larly ridged, the posterior process robustly recurved to apex 

 of scutellum, after which the apical area is slender, linear, 

 and upwardly and backwardly recurved, the lateral pronotal 

 angles shortly and obsoletely subacute. 



Allied to the Oriental genus Coccosterphas, Stal, but 

 differing in the entirely divergent structure of the posterior 

 pronotal process, the completely visible scutellum, &c. 



Promitor nominatus, sp. n. 



Head fuscous-brown ; pronotum pale ochraceous ; legs 

 pale brown, the apices of the femora and the whole of the 

 tarsi ochraceous ; body beneath fuscous-brown ; tegmina 

 subhyaline, wrinkled, the base, a subcentral fascia, a more 

 oblique subapical fascia, and some irregular apical spots 

 fuscous-brown ; pronotum thickly coarsely punctate, the 

 posterior process robustly recurved to apex of scutellum, after 

 which the apical area is slender, linear, and upwardly and 

 backwardly recurved, about or almost reaching the posterior 

 angle of the inner tegminal margin ; face moderately 

 deflected. 



Long. 5 mm. ; breadth lat. pronot. angl. 2J? mm.
