Chipatula, gen. nov. 



Head long and broad ; lateral lobes longer than the central, 

 their apical areas obtusely angulate, raised and recurved. 

 Antenna? inserted about the middle of the lateral margins of 

 the head, basal joint about reaching apex of the head ; margins 

 of the abdomen slightly angulate at segmental incisures. 

 Ventral furrow and other characters as in Coenomorpha. 



This genus may be roughly defined as having all the 

 general characters of Ccenomorpha, but with the head re-
