the first joint much shorter than the two apical joints to- 

 gether, subequal in length to the second joint ; anterior 

 femora only slightly or moderately incrassated, with a single 

 series of slender short spinules beneath ; head cylindrical, 

 shorlly but distinctly spined at base of each antennae, the 

 anteocular area much longer than the postocular ; first joint 

 of the antennae about as long as the pronotum, distinctly 

 finely hirsute ; pronotum with the anterior lobe shorter than 

 the posterior lobe, shortly but distinctly armed on each side 

 of anterior margin, and moderately tuberculous on disk, 

 posterior lobe strongly centrally longitudinally furrowed, the 

 lateral basal angles distinctly spined ; posterior legs with the 

 femora and tibiae about or almost of equal length. 



Neoldugia typica, sp. n.

 or purplish red; eyes black, and between them the colour is 

 sometimes more or less of the same hue ; posterior pronotal 

 area, scutellum, corium, rostrum, body beneath, and legs moie 

 or less ochraceous ; membrane dull greyish brown; a small 

 spot outside apex of clavus, the large basal areola before 

 membrane, and a subapical linear spot to membrane casta- 

 neous ; apices of femora a little darker in hue ; apical spine 

 to scutellum black and distinctly, concavely, upwardly
