202. GENUS TRICENTROIDES DlSTANT 



Tricentroides Distant, Faun. Brit. Ind. App. 169 (1916). 



Characters : This genus is unknown to us. It was founded on a single species from Asia and 

 according to its author is « allied to Tricentrus from which it differs by the more slender and longer 

 posterior process, the more rounded apical veins of the tegmina and the peculiarly hyaline nature 01 

 the same ». From Distant's description and figure of the type species, we may indicate the more 

 apparent generic characters as follows : Head subquadrate, wider than high ; base nearly straight ; eyes 

 globular; ocelli inconspicuous; inferior margins of genas sloping downward with straight edges ; clypeus 

 extending for half its length below inferior margins of genae. Pronotum convex with strong, sharp 

 suprahumerals ; metopidium vertical, broader than high; median carina percurrent; humeral angles 

 large, triangular and blunt; suprahumeral horns strong, sharp, longer than the distance between their 

 bases and extending outvvard and upward; posterior process long, slender, triquerate, tectiform, 

 acuminate, extending well beyond the internal angles of the tegmina; scutellum narrowly exposed on 

 each side. Tegmina hyaline; base narrowly coriaceous and punctate; apex rounded; five apical and 

 two discoidal cells; apical hmbus narrow. Legs simple; hind tarsi longest. We are copying Distanfs 

 figure for our illustration. 



Type proprius Distant. 



Geographical distribution : The genus is known only from the type species.

Eumonocentrus Schmidt, Zool. Anz. XXXVIII : 241 (191 1). 

 Banlnia Distant, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. III : S17 (1914). 



Characters : Large, conspicuous insects characterized by the erect suprahumerals which are 

 contiguous or partly united at their bases. Head subquadrate, about twice as broad as high; base
