CARAPHIA. 75 



truncate, a projecting patch of pubescence at each of the outer 

 angles gives them the appearance of being somewhat ernarginate. 

 Intercoxal process of prosternum feebly tuberculate and almost 

 vertically deflexed behind.

Genus CARAPHIA, g. n. 



Type, C. cribrata, sp. n. 



Range. Burma. 



Head gradually narrowed behind the eyes, broadly concave 

 between the antennal supports, which are widely separated ; front 

 large, oblique, not marked off from the clypeus ; the latter pro- 

 duced in front, smooth and membranous near its front border ; 

 labrum short, transverse ; maxillary palpi a little longer than 

 the labial, last joint fusiform cylindrical ; eyes of moderate size, 

 coarsely facetted, emarginate, the lower lobe a little dilated to- 

 wards both the front and the ventral surface ; gena3 as long as the 

 lower lobe of the eye ; gula produced in a short meutigerous pro- 

 cess. Antennae contiguous to the eyes, a little longer or shorter 

 than the body in the female ; first joint subcylindrical, scarcely 

 reaching past the head ; third and fourth subequal, each slightly 

 longer than the first, but shorter than the fifth or sixth ; seventh 

 to eleventh successively shorter ; fourth to eleventh slightly com- 

 pressed, more or less distinctly canaliculate above and below. 

 Prothorax widest at base, narrowed in front, slightly constricted 

 near base and apex and slightly rounded in the middle at each 

 side. Mesonotum with undivided stridulatory area. Elytra wider 

 at base than base of prothorax, slightly and gradually narrowed 

 for about three-fourths of their length, then more strongly 

 so to the apex, where each is truncate. Legs moderately long ; 

 femora sublinear, the hind pair much shorter than the abdomen ; 

 tibial spurs short ; first joint of hind tarsus as long as the 

 second and third united; third joint deeply cleft, the claw- 

 joint long, the claws not very widely divergent. Front cox* 

 moderately exserted, angulate outwards, their acetabula closed 

 posteriorly by the approximation of the epimera to the slightly 

 dilated hind end of the rather narrow intercoxal process. Wings 

 with the first cubital vein bifurcate posteriorly, the second cubital 

 joined by an oblique vein with the first cubital, and by another vein 

 with the first anal, the latter sometimes having a narrow elliptical 

 cell in its course.
