HRMU'TKUA ITF.TEROPTERA 407 



Body ample, nearly elliptical, fload rnuiided in front; lobes of equal 

 lenj^tli. Rustrum extending to ilie liind coxie. "Anienntc little nuiie than 

 cne-tiiird of the length of the body ; first joint not extcndin;^ to the front of 

 the head; second much shorter than the third; I'ouilh almost as long as 

 the third. Thorax with the sides serrated in front; hind angles forming

 and the middle coxae. Legs moderatily long and slender ; tibiae furrowed ; 

 tarsi three-joiuted. Membrane of the fore wings vvith longitudinal veins. 



This genus is most allied to Prionaca, from which it may be dis- 

 tinguished by the structure of the thorax and by the long ventral spine.

Genus 78. UCIA. 



Corpus ovatum, rude punctatum. Caput antice subquadratum, lobis 

 lateralibus lobum medium superantibus antice connexis. Rostrum coxas 

 posticas attingens, Anteiina; clavatae, corporis triente breviores ; articulus 

 lus frontem non attingens; 2us 3o longior ; 5us4o brevior. Thorax trans- 

 verse subimpressus, cornubus duobus lateralibus Iruncatis, laminis duabus
