23o HOMOPTERA 



221. GENUS ARIMANES DlSTANT 



Arimanes Distant, Rhynch. Notes 290 (1916). 



Characteps : This genus seems to be closely related to both Ceraon and Lubra but differs from 

 both in the low pronotum, the more elevated posterior process and in the pecuhar structure of the 

 suprahumerals which are slender, subporrect and tricarinate with the tips broad, truncate and sulcate 

 between the ridges. Head subquadrate, much broader than high ; base regularly arcuate ; eyes globular ; 

 ocelli large, prominent, nearer to each other than to the eyes and situated above a hne drawn through 

 centers of eyes; inferior margins of gense sloping, sinuate and slightly flanged ; clypeus feebly trilobed, 

 extending for one-third its length below inferior margins of gense. Pronotum low and bearing long 

 suprahumerals and a long, slender posterior process; metopidium vertical, broader than high; median 

 carina percurrent ; humeral angles large, triangular and blunt ; suprahumeral horns slender, much 

 longer than the distance between their bases, strongly triquerate, extending upward, shghtly forward 

 and very little outward, tips broad and truncate and bearing strong ridges with depressions between the 

 ridges; posterior process long, slender, tricarinate, shghtly elevated above the body, tip sharp and 

 reaching the tips of the tegmina; scutellum broadly exposed on each side. Tegmina long, narrow, 

 semiopaque; basal and costal areas coriaceous and punctate; five apical and two discoidal cells; apical 

 limbus narrow. Legs simple; hind tarsi longest. 



Type doryensis Distant. 



Geogpaphical dlstpibution : This genus isknown only from the type species from New Guinea.

222. GENUS CONVECTOR DISTANT 



Convectop Distant, Faun. Brit. Ind. App. i53 (1916). 



Chapacteps : The type species of this genus bears a strong resemblance to the forms of Telingana 

 but the posterior process is lower and the scutellum is broader than long. Head subquadrate, broader 

 than high; base regularly arcuate; eyes globular; ocelU large, conspicuous, equidistant from each other 

 and from the eyes and situated shghtly above a line drawn through centers of eyes; inferior margins of 

 genae straight; clypeus extending for two-thirds its length below inferior margins of gense. Pronotum 

 convex with strong suprahumerals and a long straight posterior process; metopidium vertical, about as 

 broad as high; median carina percurrent; humeral angles broad andblunt; suprahumeral horns strong, 

 triquerate, as long as the distance between their bases, extending outward and upward, tip stiarp ; 

 posterior process slender, tricarinate, arising from low on the pronotum but above the scutellum, nearly 

 straight, tip acuminate and reaching well beyond the internal angles of the tegmina; scutellum entirely 

 exposed, broader than long, tip broadly notched. Tegmina hyahne; base narrowly coriaceous and 

 punctate; five apical and two discoidal cells; tip pointed, apical limbus weil developed. Legs simple; 

 hind tarsi longest. 



Type cavendus Distant. 



Geogpaphical distpibution : This genus is known only from the type species.
