MOYAKA, gen. nov. 



Head anteriorly concave ; lobes of about equal lengtli, lateral 

 lobes foliaceous, upwardly recurved. Eyes prominent, situate 

 at basal insertion of the head. Eostrum reaching the inter- 

 mediate coxEe, first joint just passing base of head. Thorax 

 broad, flat, depressed anteriorly, moderately constricted before 

 middle ; lateral margins prominently reflexed and concavely 

 rounded, posterior angles produced in long spines. Scutellum 

 narrowed apically and reaching the interior apical angle of 

 the corium. Second abdominal segment with a somewhat 

 obscure spinous tubercle directed forward. Anterior femora 

 spined near apex. 



This genus is allied to Leptolvbus, Sign., from which it 

 differs by the structure of the head and thorax, broader 

 body, &c.
