coxae, slender, the base in a short channel, of which the sides are 

 produced, but rounded.

 in front ; anterior margin not wider than the head, a little concave ; 

 sides divergent, concave, hindwardly much raised and rather ex- 

 panded ; hinder sides short, straight ; posterior margin, across the 

 base of the scutellum, straight, extended upwards to the hinder sides 

 almost in a straight line ; disk in front and centre depressed, rising 

 in a curve to the hinder angles, posteriorly deflected, with a ridge 

 longer than the base of the scutellum. Scutellum horizontal, flat, 

 short, triangular. Elytra not so long as the abdomen ; Membrane 

 filled with fine anastomosing nerves, which (except 3 at the 

 inner basal angle) proceed from a cross nerve near the corium, 

 the space there left forming a narrow, angulated cell. Sternum 

 with a rostral channel deepest on the metasternum. Legs moderate ; 

 thighs not incrassated, unarmed ; tibia outwardly with a fine de- 

 pressed line. 



Abdomen above flat, beneath convex ; Gonnexivum moderate, 

 reflexed, covered by the elytra, not widened in the centre. Genital 

 segments as in Syromastes, but on the upperside, in the $ , the 2 

 visible segments are both extended beyond the points of the con-

 into 2 broad, flat points.
