261. GENUS SUBRINCATOR DISTANT 



SubPincatop Distant, Rhynch. Notes iSy (1916). 



Chapacters : We have not seen the single species which represents this genus. It has never 

 beenfigured nor hasit been recognized in the literature of thefamily except in catalogues since its original 

 description. Consequently we can only quote Distanfs original generic description as foUows : 



« Pronotum with the disk broad, moderately convex, very prominently, centrally, longilu- 

 dinally carinate, lateral processes absent, but the lateral margins broadly obtusely subangulate, the 

 posterior process short, laminately, convexly dilated, its apex shortly subacute. about reaching 

 the posterior angle of the inner tegminal margin; face broader than long, rugose, eyes prominent; 

 tegmina a little more than twice as long as broad, the veins prominent, four apical cells; legs 

 robust, but tibia; not dilated. » 



The genus should be easily recognized by the broad, laminate posterior process which would 

 serve to distinguish it from any of the other nearly related genera. 



Type ionhineiisis Distant. 



Geogpaphical distpibution : The genus is known only from the type species from north 

 Indo-China.

262. Genus SIPYLUS STAL 



Sipylus Stal, Analect. Hem. 387 (1866). 

 F«rmoc«ntpus Kato, Zool. Soc. Jap. 284 (igSo). 



Chapacters : The insects of this genus are at once recognized by their strongly produced 

 auriculate humeral angles and by their robust triangular bodies which differentiate them irom all of their 

 near relatives. Head subquadrate, twiceas broadashigh, roughly sculptured, usually pubescent; base 

 strongly arcuate and sinuate; eyes ovate; ocelli large, prominent, farther from each other than from the 

 eyes and situated well above a line drawn through centers of eyes; inferior margins of genae sloping and 

 sinuate; clypeus subquadrate, extending for half its length below inferior margins of genae. Pronotum 

 low and flat, without suprahumerals but with broad well developed humeral angles and often with strong 

 rugae on the dorsal surface ; metopidium low, sloping, much broader than high; humeral angles very 

 strong andauriculate; median carina percurrent; no suprahumeral horns; posterior process short, robust, 

 flat. roughly carinate, tip blunt and reaching just about to the internal angles of the tegmina; scutellum 

 well exposed on each side. Tegmina hroad, hyaline, base broadly coriaceous and punctate; veins heavy 

 and often nodulate; five apical and two discoidal cells; apical limbus narrow. Legs simple, heavy and 

 robust; hind tarsi longest.
