Mr. W. L. Distant on IIomopteiTw 25 



PahariAj gen. nov. 



Head moderately narrow, its breadth (including eyes) 

 narrower than base of mesonotum and about equal to its length 

 (including cruciform elevation), front prominent, as long as 

 vertex ; pronotum much longer than head, convex, laterally 

 depressed, obliquely narrowed anteriorly, its posterior angles 

 strongly lobately produced ; mesonotum strongly deflected on 

 each side; abdomen (?) about as long as space between 

 apex of head and base of crucitorni elevation ; tympana oni- 

 pletely exposed, tym.panal coverings entirely absent ; abdomen 

 beneath with tiie lateral margins strongly recurved and very 

 prominent ; anterior femora robust and strongly spined 

 beneath ; posterior tibiaj spined on each side for about half 

 tiieir length ; rostrum reaching the intermediate coxse ; 

 tegmina and wings talc- like in type, the first broad, with the 

 apical areas somewhat short and eight in number^ the basal 

 cell about twice as long as broad, narrower at apex than at 

 base ; wings with six apical areas. 



Type, P. Idcteipennis, Walk. [Cephaloxys). 



My knowledge of this genus extends to three species, all 

 represented by female specimens only. 



Division Taphueakia. 



Eyes projecting beyond the anterior angles of the pro- 

 notum ; pronotum subquadrate, not distinctly narrowed 

 anteriorly, as (with few exceptions) in the Tibicinaria; abdo- 

 men about as long as space between apex of head and base ot' 

 cruciform elevation*; a more or less distinct posterior meta- 

 sternal process visible in males between or at the base of the 

 opercula. 



Synopsis of Genera. 



A. Wiugs with six apical areas. 



a. Head (including eyes) about as broad as base of 

 mesonotum. 

 b. Head with front subprominent, in breadth about 

 equal to length of lateral margins of vertex ; 

 space between eyes very much narrower than 

 anterior margin of pronotum. 

 c. Tegmina less than three times longer than 

 broad. 

 d. Tegmina with lower veins of radial and 

 fourth ulnar areas at base -widely separated.
