Dictyophora tnscia, Walk. Ins. Saund., Horn. p. 38 (1858). 



This species was described from an unlocalized specimen 

 which constitutes the unique type. It is in a mutilated 

 condition, the head being entirely missing. It probably 

 represents a Neotropical species. 



ROTUNOSA, gen. nov. 



Head broad, but longly produced in front of eyes, a little 

 narrowed at apex, moderately flat above, strongly centrally 

 and laterally carinate, the central carination forked at base ; 

 face moderately broadened from base to clypeus, strongly 

 centrall}' carinate, with a curved lateral carination on each 

 side not reaching base and meeting before clypeus, which is 

 centrally ridged ; pronotum scarcely longer than eyes, strongly 

 emarginate at base, centrally carinate ; mesonotuin more than 

 twice as long as pronotum, tricarinate ; tegmina narrow, sub- 

 opaque, about three times as long as broad, veins longitudinal, 

 but much closer together and obscurely reticulate on apical 

 area, which is defined by a straight series of transverse 

 impressed veins ; wings hyaline, with a transverse, discal, 

 subapical vein ; posterior tibiae with three spines.
