433 IVir. \\ r . L. Distant on some 



ochraceous, its inner margin and the posterior segmental 

 margins black; body beneath and legs ochraceous, abdomen 

 with a waved castaneous line on each lateral area; antennae 

 with the first joint fuscous brown, remaining joints pale 

 ochraceous, basal joint not quite reaching apex of head, 

 second, third, and fourth joints almost subequal in length, 

 fifth a little the longest ; rostrum just passing the posterior 

 coxae, first joint reaching base of head, second reaching the 

 intermediate coxae and about as long as third and fourth 

 together ; head longer than broad, thickly coarsely punctate, 

 the apex of the central lobe a little prominent ; pronotum 

 broader than long, thickly coarsely punctate, the posterior 

 angles strongly, robustly, horizontally produced, their apices 

 subacute and very slightly recurved, a little notched behind ; 

 scutellum coarsely punctate and wrinkled, shorter than the 

 corium, the basal angular pale spots subglobose; corium more 

 finely punctate ; membrane reaching the apex of abdomen. 



Long. 9 mm.; exp. pronot. angl. 7 mm. 



Old Camp, 6000-7000 feet. 



Awemba, gen. nov. 



Somewhat flatly broad and subovate ; head narrowing 

 anteriorly, the lateral lobes distinctly longer than the central 

 lobe, their apices somewhat widely separated; antennae five- 

 jointed, basal joint not quite reaching apex of head, second 

 and fourth subequal in length, fifth longest ; rostrum reaching 

 the posterior coxae, first joint reaching base of head, second 

 longest and not quire reaching intermediate coxae, third and 

 fourth joints short and subequal in length ; pronotum much 

 broader than long, the lateral angles strongly, robustly, 

 spinously produced, the anterior lateral margins coarsely 

 serrate, posterior margin truncate before scutellum, lateral 

 margins concavely sinuate, anterior margin excavated for the 

 reception of the head ; scutellum about as long as broad at 

 base, its lateral margins oblique to near middle and then more 

 suddenly narrowed, its apex rounded ; corium longer than 

 scutellum, not covering connexivum, which is widely ex- 

 posed ; membrane somewhat short, about reaching abdominal 

 apex ; abdomen beneath convex, apical angles of sixth abdo- 

 minal segment acuminate; legs simple, not spined. 



This genus in general appearance and character is allied to 

 Carlnda, Stal, but widely diverges by the lateral lobes of the 

 head being longer than the central and by the serrate lateral 

 margins of the pronotum.
