25o HOMOPTERA 



of geiiEe rounded and distinctly turned forward; ch^peus broad, feebly trilobed, extending for tvvo-thirds 

 its length below inferior margins of gente, tip truncate. Pronotum low, not gibbous, bearing a pair 

 of oblique suprahumerals and a short, straight posterior process; metopidium sloping, twiceasbroad as 

 high; median carina faintly percurrent; humeral angles large, tiiangular and bkint; suprahumeral horns 

 varving greatly in size and structure but always extending outward and upvvard aiid usually strong, 

 robust and about as long as the distance between their bases; dorsum more or less flattened ; posterior 

 process short, heavy, tectiform, close to scutellum which it almost entirely covers, impinging on 

 tegmina, tip blunt and seldom reaching beyond the internal angles of the tegmina ; scutellum narrowly 

 exposed on each side. Tegmina broad, hyahne; base narrowly coriaceous and punctate ; veins strong 

 and straight ; five apical and tvvo discoidal cells ; apical cells short and broad ; tips pointed ; apical hmbus 

 narrow. Legs simple and slender; tibiae finely spined; hind taisi longest.

Geographical distribution : This geiius is represented in both Asia and Africa accoiding to 

 the present Hsting of species but we strongly suspect that the two geographical areas repiesent groups 

 which are distinct enough to make it probable that the genus should be subdivided. However, we 

 have not seen enough material to warrant sphtting the genus at the present time and are Hsting all of 

 the species under Centntchus as loUows :

Characters : A genus of large, heavy-bodied insects recognized by the robust, oblique supra- 

 humerals, the long decurved posterior process and the long narrow cells in the apical area of the 

 tegmina. Head subquadiate, roughly sculptured, only a little broader than high ; base arcuate, lightly 

 sinuate and feeblv bituberculate ; e^-es large, globular and protruding; ocelli large, conspicuous, 

 somewhat elevated, about equidistant from each other and from the eyes and situated on a line drawn 

 through centers of eyes; inferior inargins of gena; sloping, strongly sinuate, with the edges distinctly 

 turned outward ; clypeus very broad, trilobed with the median lobe much the largest, extending for 

 half its length below inferior margins of genffi, tip rounded. Pronotum convex but not strongly 

 gibbous, bearing a pair of large robust suprahumerals and a long, heavy, decurved posterior process ; 

 metopidium sloping, about as broad as high; median carina percurrent; humeral angles large, heav\', 

 triangular and blunt; suprahumeral horns large, heavy, triquerate, longer than the distance betvveen 

 their bases, tips blunt; posterior process long, heavy, tectiform, decurved, close to scutellum and 

 impinging on tegmina, tip blunt and reaching about to the tips of the tegmina; scutellum narrowly
