Characters : A very distinct genus recognized at once by the tuberculate head, the over- 

 hanging flattened anterior edge of the metopidium and the strongly sinuate posterior process. Head 

 subquadrate, almost as high as broad, roughly sculptured; base highly arcuate, weakly sinuate and 

 strongly bituberculate; eyes small and flattened; ocelli large, conspicuous, elevated, twice as far from 

 each other as from the eyes and situated far above a line drawn through centers of eyes; inferior margins 

 of genae sloping and sinuate: clypeus long and broad, extending for three fourths its length below 

 inferior margins of genas, tip rounded. Pronotum convex, without suprahumerals but with a strongh- 

 sinuate posterior process; metopidium low and sloping, much broader than high, extended slighth' 

 over the head in a flattened plate; median carina stronglj' percurrent; humeral angles heavy, triangular 

 and blunt; posterior process slender and strongly sinuate, impinging on both scutellum and tegmina, 

 sharply tectiform, tip acute and reaching a little beyond the internal angles of the tegmina; scutellum 

 broadly exposed on each side. Tegmina broad, subhyaline, usually heavily mottled with dark colors; 

 basal and costal aieas broadly coriaceous and punctate; five apical and two discoidal cells; tip pointed; 

 apical limbus narrow. Legs simple; hind trochanters unarmed; hind tarsi longest. 



Type varius Walker. 



Geographical distribution : This is a comparatively small genus so far as the number of 

 species is concerned but is well represented in individuals which are apparentl}- very abundant. The 

 center of distribution seems to be the Indian .Archipelago.
