particularly inthe apical region, very irregular; tip pointed, obliquely truncate on anal margin; apical 

 limbus broad. Legs simple; hind tarsi longest. 



Type uncinata Stal. 



Geographical distribution : This genus is represented only by the type species from India 

 and we are copying Distant's figure of this insect for our illustration.

209. genus pyrgonota stal 



Pyrgonota Stal, Hem. Phil. ySo (1870). 



Cliaracters : This remarkable and very interestinggenus difFers from the four preceding genera 

 of this tribe by having no dorsal node on the posterior process. It may be separated from the two 

 foUowing genera of the tribe by the long, branched, anterior pronotal horn which curves backward over 

 the body. Head subquadrate, as broad as high ; base arcuate but not tuberculate ; eyes flattened laterally; 

 ocelli large, prominent, twice as far from each other as from the eyes and situated well above a line 

 drawn through centers of eyes ; inferior margins of genae sloping and sinuate; clypeus extending for 

 about half its length below the inferior margins of the genas. Pronotum extended upward into a high 

 anterior horn which is branched near the tip and curves backward ; metopidium vertical, higher than the 

 breadth at base; median carina percurrent; humeral angles triangular and blunt; anterior pronotal horn 

 long, slender, conical at base, slightly flattened in the middle, and branched at the tip to form two 

 spreading arms which are usually foliaceous near the extremities and curve backward over the body; 

 posterior margin of anterior pronotal horn generally spinose or dentate; mesonotum strongly toothed 

 on lateral margin; posterior process heavy, simple, tectiform, slightly sinuate, impinging on tegmina, 

 tip sharp and extending justabout to the internal angles of the tegmina; scutellum very faintly exposed 

 on each side. Tegmina long, narrow, semiopaque; basal and costal areas broadly coriaceous and 

 punctate; veins distinctand inclined to be curved in the apical region; five apical and three discoidal 

 cells; tip pointed ; apical limbus narrovv and wrinkled. Legs simple; hind tarsi longest. 



Type tumida Stal. 



Geographical distribution : This is strictly a Philippine genus and no species has been found 

 outside of those islands.
