continued for about two tliirds through disk of posterior broad 

 area, between these ridges the surface is finely transversely 

 striate and contains a central longitudinal ridge, which is 

 broad and robust anteriorly and evanescent posteriorly ; 

 rostrum passing the posterior coxse ; pronotum centrally 

 produced anteriorly, its lateral margins prominently sub- 

 angulate and centrally longitudinally ridged ; mesonotum 

 with two discal strongly waved and angulated longitudinal 

 ridges ; posterior tibiae with six or seven strong spines; legs 

 strongly longitudinally channelled ; tegmina about three 

 times as long as broad, apically rounded, transversely reticu- 

 lately veined, basal cell much longer than broad, veins to 

 costal membrane oblique ; wings broader than tegmina, 

 reticulately veined except on upper basal area, anal area with 

 reticulate veins. 



I place this genus near Enhydria^ Walk., and Hariola, 

 Stal.

Head above piceous brown, its base and eyes ochraceous, 

 between eyes two contiguous black spots ; pronotum testaceous

 fuscous suffusions towards apex ; wings with the basal area 

 opaque, bright ochraceous, outwardly broadly margined with
