of fifth black or blackish, basal joint stoutest and consider- 

 ably passing apex of head, remaining joints almost subequal in 

 length ; head in front of eyes moderately narrowing to apex, which 

 is rounded, the lateral margins concavely sinuate ; pronotal 

 angles strongly produced, their apices acute and slightly directed 

 backwardly ; scutellum elongate, subtriangular, the apex attenuate 

 and rounded ; abdominal apex with a black spine on each side ; 

 membrane considerably passing abdominal apex ; mesosternal ridge 

 produced backward between the intermediate coxae.

Olivaceous brown, the corium more olivaceous, the membrane 



Sle olivaceous brown ; head sparsely, coarsely punctate, the 

 ;eral margins sinuate, the lobes subequal in length, the central 

 lobe almost impunctate ; antennae piceous, basal joint not reaching 

 apex of head, second and third subequal in length, each much 

 longer than first, remaining joints mutilated in type ; pronotum 

 rather sparingly but very coarsely punctate, the punctures some- 

 what confluent near anterior margin, the lateral angles long 

 and robust, transversely produced, their apices finelv, acutely nar- 

 rowed, the posterior angles distinctly, rather broadly posteriorly 

 produced; scutellura sparingly coarsely punctured; corium very 

 obscurely finely punctate ; membrane not passing the abdominal 

 apex; head beneath and sternum olivaceous brown, sparingly 

 coarsely punctate ; mesosternal process not reaching the anterior 

 margin of the prosternum and backwardly produced between the 

 intermediate coxae ; abdomen beneath greenish-olivaceous, ab- 

 dominal spine almost reaching the intermediate coxae ; an obscure 

 central longitudinal ridge, angles of the posterior segment broadly 

 subprominent; rostrum about reaching the posterior coxae. 



Length 9 ; breadth between pronotal angles 8 millitn.

The long and apically spinously produced lateral angles of the 

 pronotum are a distinctive feature of this species.

Ochraceous, with coarse dark punctures ; produced pronotal 

 angles carmine-red ; scutellum with a large basal central oblong 

 black spot ; head coarsely punctate, the lateral margins almost 

 impunctate ; antennae mutilated in typical specimen ; pronotum 

 coarsely punctate, the punctures somewhat confluent near 

 anterior margin, lateral margins almost impunctate, a few 

 punctures in linear series on their anterior areas, the lateral 

 angles produced and apically recurved, their apices shortly 

 subacute, posterior angles distinctly but shortly and obtusely 

 produced backwardly ; scutellum sparingly punctate, more thickly 

 so on lateral margins, about apical fourth distinctly narrowed ;
