210. GENUS FUNKHOUSERELLA SCHMIDT 



Funkhouserella Schmidt, Soc. Ent. XLI : 6. 24 (1926). 



Characteps : AU of the species of this genus were originally described under the genus Pyrgonota 

 but they differ from the members of that genus by having the anterior pronotal horn bulbous or nodose 

 and unbranched and not curving backward over the body. On the basis of these characters, Schmidt 

 has seen fit to place theni in a distinct genus. This genus, aside from the above mentioned characters, 

 is close to Pyrgonota, to which it is undoubtedly nearly related, but the bizarre and grotesque structures 

 of the anterior process make it at once recognizable. Head subquadrate, a little broader than high, 

 convex, punctate and often pubescent; base arcuate and sinuate but never tuberculate; eyes ovate; 

 ocelli large, conspicuous, twice as far from each other as from the eyes and situated a little above a Une 

 drawn through centers of eyes; inferior margins of genae sinuate and sloping downward to form flat 

 plates on each side of the clypeus; clypeus projecting very little below inferior margins of genae, tip 

 rounded or truncate. Pronotum extended upward into a high anterior horn which is very variable in 

 shape and structure; metopidium conical, about as high as its breadth at base; median carina obsolete; 

 humeral angles weak and rounded; anterior pronotal horn projecting upward or forward, decorated 

 with bulbs, nodes or protuberances and not branched or curving backward; posterior process tectiform, 

 impinging on tegmina, tip sharp and reaching a little beyond the internal angles of the tegmina; 

 scutellum very narrowly exposed on each side. Tegmina long, narrow, semiopaque; basal and costal 

 areas broadly coriaceous and punctate; veins indistinct; live apical and three or four discoidal cells; tip 

 sharply pointed; no apical limbus. Legsheavy; tibiae more or less foliaceous; hind tarsi very much 

 longer than either of the other two pairs. 



Type pinguiturris Funkhouser. 



Geogpaphical distplbution : This genus, hke the preceding, seems to be found chiefly in the 

 Philippines, but one species has been described from the Malay Peninsula and one from an island off 

 the south coast of China.
