28. PSEUDOPHYLLUS FORTIS. 



Foem. Testaceus, crassus ; capitis carina longi-conica, subacula, sub- 

 impressa, antennarum arliculo \o paullo angustior ; prothorax 

 subtuberculatus, postice carinatus, margine antico rotundato, 

 lateribus crenulatis, margine postico angulato elevato ; oviductus 

 abdomine paullo Idngior ; pedes crassi, breves, forliter spinosi, femori- 

 bus posticis triseriatim spinosis. 



Female. Testaceous, thick. Head a little narrower than the fore 

 border of the prothorax ; keel elongate-conical, slightly acute, a little 

 narrower than the first joint of the antennae, its disk slightly concave; 

 front lanceolate between the sockets of the antenna?. Eyes tawny, ellip- 

 tical, prominent. Prothorax minutely and thinly tuberculate, with a keel 

 which is distinct in the hind part, but passes in the middle-into a furrow ; 

 the latter is hardly apparent in front of the foremost of the two strongly 

 impressed transverse lines; fore border rounded ; lateral lobes with tuber- 

 culated borders; hind border angular, elevated. Oviduct a little longer than 

 the abdomen. Legs thick, short; spines large on the outer keel, small on 

 the inner one; hind femora with an additional row of minute spines on 

 the upper keel ; hind tibia3 with two rows of very broad spines and with 

 two of minute spines. Length of the body 15 lines. 



The specimen described is not fully developed, and its fore wings are 

 very much shorter than the abdomen.

Genus 123. ZUMALA. 



Corpus crassum. Verticis carina lanceolata, sulcata, antennarum arti- 

 culo lo angustior. Oculi prominuli. Antenna longae, graciles. Pro- 

 thorax tuberculatus ; plus minusve carinatus. Oviductus abdomine 

 brevior. Pedes robusti, spinosi. Ala antica3 Iata3, margine interiore valde 

 rotundato. 



x Body stout. Keel of the vertex lanceolate, furrowed, narrower than 

 the first joint of the antennae. Eyes prominent. Antenna? long, slender. 

 Prothorax tuberculate, more or less keeled. Oviduct shorter than the 

 abdomen. Legs stout, spinose. Fore wings broad ; interior border much 

 rounded. 



The rounded interior border of the hind wings is the most distinctive 

 character of this genus. It is more nearly allied to Aprion than to Pseudo- 

 phyllus.
