directed spine ; antennae pilose, first joint stoutest, about equal in 

 length to that of head, second distinctly shorter than third, a 

 little shorter than first, fourth fusiform ; rostrum reaching the 

 intermediate coxae, first joint extending to latitude of eyes, second 

 to about base of head, second and third subequal in length ; pro- 

 notum with the posterior margin truncate before scutellum, 

 lateral margins finely spinose, basal angles acute; scutellum not 

 elevated ; connexivum not prominently spined, extending beyond 

 corium and membrane from the region of base of posterior 

 femora to apex ; posterior femora with their bases slender, 

 incrassated towards their apices, beneath which they are pro- 

 minently spinous. 



Allied to Hoplolomia, Stall (vol. i, p. 403), but differing by 

 length of head and rostrum, and by the basal joint of antennae 

 not being shorter than head. Also allied to Psilolomia, Bredd.

Body above ochraceous, posterior area of pronotum and the

 obscure castaneous spots ; apical joint of antennae (excluding 

 base), apical areas of posterior femora, apices of tibiae, and trans-
