thorax ; the ])o.st))ctiole is cleuily sc|)aiateil ; the second 

 s('!2^nieiit lias the basal halt' in tiie middle longitu linally 

 striated ; the ventral keel is only on segments 2, 3, and -4 ; 

 the apical one is blunt and is nearly as long as the penulti- 

 mate. Legs moderately long; the tarsi are spinose; the 

 hinder femora do not reach to the apex of the third segment. 

 Arcolct 4-angled, the ncrvures touching at the top ; there is 

 a distinct nervure on the discocubital nervure and an indis- 

 tinct one on the recurrent nervure, which is angled in the 

 middle; the transverse basal nervure is interstitial. 



Of the Indian genera of Joppini this genus most nearly 

 resembles Facydes and Pachyjoppa, which agree with it in 

 having a pyramidal scutellum ; both differ in having the 

 apex of the wings clouded and in the transverse basal nervure 

 not being interstitial. Fachyjoppa differs further in the 

 areola being bounded by raised keels, in the median segment 

 being stoutly spined, and in the postscutellum being keeled 

 behind; the areola in /'acj/c^es is flatter, is keeled laterally, 

 but not at the apex, it being confluent with the posterior 

 median area ; the malar space is greater and the head behind 

 is not so obliquely narrowed, it being more rounded.

The tenth and eleventh basal joints of the antennie are 

 rufous, the others black ; the scape is punctured and sparsely 

 covered with sliort black hair. Face and clypeus bairing 

 shallow punctures, ferruginous, the sides of the face broadly 

 and distinctly yellow; the labrum is fringed with long ful- 

 vous hairs ; the mandibular teeth black ; tlie palpi yellowish. 

 Front and vertex shining, impunctate, the vertex thickly 

 covered with black hair ; the ocelli in front are surrounded 

 by a deep furrow, the sides opposite their lower part arc 

 finely transversely striated, the inner orbits above distinctly 

 margined. Mesonotum closely and strongly punctured and 

 darker in tint than the rest of the thorax : the pyramidal 

 scutellum has a curved slope at the base, the apex has a 

 longer oblique one ; it is sparsely covered with large deep 

 punctures and clothed with long dark hairs ; the depression 

 at its base and the keels are deep black : the postscutellum is 

 very smooth and shining, distinctly bifoveate at the base ;
