205. GENUS HYPSAUCHENIA Germar 



Hypsauchenia Germai, Rev. Silb. UI : 23o (i835). 



Chapacters : Large, bizarre and rather remarkable insects with a high anterior pronotal horn 

 usually forked at the tip, a mesonotum bearing strong teeth, and being characterized particularly by the 

 trilobed head and the dorsal, subapical node on the posterior process. Head subquadrate, about as 

 broad as high, roughly sculptured, apex more or less trilobed; base highly arcuate and strongly 

 bituberculate ; eyes globular; ocelH large, prominent, conspicuous, protruding, four times as far from each 

 other as from the eyes and situated in the upper, outer corners of the head, close to the eyes and to the 

 basal margin and well above a line drawn through centers of eyes; inferior margins of gense extended in 

 lobes; clypeus very long, extending for three-fourths its length below the inferior margins of the genae. 

 Pronotum elevated into a high anterior horn, usually curving backward and bifurcate at the tip; 

 metopidium conical, vertical, tricarinate, higher than wide; median carina strongly percurrent; humeral 

 angles large, triangular and blunt; mesonotum extended into teeth or lobes; posterior process strong, 

 tectiform, impinging on tegmina and bearing a large, rounded, bilaterally flattened, subapical dorsal 

 node, tip suddenly acute and reaching justtothe internal angles of the tegmina; scutellum narrowly 

 exposed on each side. Tegmina long, narrow, coriaceous and opaque; veins indistinct; fiveapical and 

 three or four discoidal cells; tip pointed and diagonally truncate ; apical limbus broad. Legs simple; 

 hind tarsi longest.
