Cerilocus histrio, sp. n. 



Black ; a large ochraceous spot near inner angle of corium ; 

 antennae (excluding basal joint), apices of tibite, and the tarsi 

 brownish ochraceous ; eyes and ocelli more or less stramineous, 

 apical margin of membrane greyish white. Pilose, especially 

 the antenna3 and legs ; pronotum with the anterior angles 

 nodulosely prominent, the disk of both lobes centrally im- 

 pressed, posterior lateral angles subprominent and rounded ; 

 first joint of antennae short, barely reaching apex of head, 

 about one fourth the length of second joint ; first and second 

 joints of rostrum subequal in length. 



Long. 22 millim. ; exp. pronot. angl. 6^ millim.

Mankuninga, gen. nov. 



Body elongate, depressed ; head well produced in front of 

 eyes, where it is profoundly longitudinally sculptured ; an- 

 tennae with the first joint short, not reaching apex of head 

 and about one fourth the length of second joint ; rostrum with 

 the first joint slightly shorter than the second ; pronotum 

 narrowed anteriorly, transversely constricted before middle, 

 the anterior lobe sculptured and longitudinally impressed, the 

 posterior lobe not or very obsoletely longitudinally impressed, 

 lateral angles rounded ; scutellum a little shorter than broad ; 

 legs very long, posterior tibiee extending beyond the apex of 

 the abdomen for rather more than half their length ; anterior 

 femora moderately incrassated but unarmed; anterior tibiae 

 provided with a profound apical spongy fovea; prosternum 

 centrally sulcate ; abdomen convex beneath and centrally 

 ridged. 



This genus is allied to Cerilocus, Stal, from which it differs 

 by the sculptured anterior lobe of the pronotum, by the length 

 of the posterior tibise, the convex abdomen beneath, &c.
