257. Genus KANADA DISTANT 



Kanada Distant, Faun. Brit. Ind. 74 (1907). 



CKiaracters : This genus bears a strong resemblance to the genus Gargara of the next tribe but 

 differs from Gargara in having no true scutellum but having the mesonotum produced on each side in a 

 rather long, flattened spine. ]t differs from the other genera of the tribe Coccosierphini in having the 

 dorsum straight, the apex of the clavus obtuse, the posterior process long, strong and robust. and in 

 having five apical cells in the tegmina. Head subquadrate, twice as broad as high; base wtakh- arcuate 

 and shghtly sinuate; eyes rather small, globular and protruding; ocelh large, conspicuous, about 

 equidistant from each other and from the eyes and situated a httle above a hne drawn through centers of 

 eyes; inferior margins of gense rounded and nearly horizontal: clypeus broad, extending for half its 

 length below inferior margins of genas, tip broadly rounded. Pronotum weakly convex, not strongly 

 gibbous, without suprahumerals but with a strong posterior process; metopidium sloping, twice as broad 

 ashigh; median carina faintly percurrent; humeral angles small, triangular and sharp; no suprahumerals ; 

 dorsum nearly fiat; posterior process long, heavy, straight, rounded above, impinging on tegmina, tip 

 acute and reaching beyond the intemal angles of the tegmina ; sides of mesonotum plainly visible and 

 projecting backward in laminate points. Tegmina broad and h\aline; base very narrowly coriaceous 

 and punctate; veins strong; five apical and two discoidal cells; tip rounded; apical limbusbroad. Legs 

 heavy ; femora thickened; tibise strongly longitudinally grooved and finely spined; hind tarsi longest.
