Ochraceous, thickly and finely punctured j punctures some¬ 
what darker on frontal half of pronotum and head. An¬ 
tenna? reddish ; second joint longer than first, shorter than 
fourth, third and fifth longest, subequal. Scutellum with the

Khasia hills, 4500 to 6000 feet. 
Cratonotus, nov. gen. 
Head broad and elongated ; ocular part broadest, with the

lobe shorter than the lateral lobes. Eyes prominent; ocelli 
situated rather nearer the eyes than to each other. Antenna?

slightly shorter than the third, fourth longest. Rostrum ro¬ 
bust, just passing posterior coxa?; second joint longer than 
third ; apical joint shortest. Pronotum twice as wide as long, 
raised and rounded at base, deflexed in front, angles obtusely 
prominent; lateral margins deeply sinuated, with their an¬ 
terior portion crenulated. Scutellum reaching a little beyond 
base of membrane, gradually narrowed for two thirds its length 
from base, when it is straightened to apex, which is moderately 
broad and rounded ; width at base about equal to length. 
Membrane with longitudinal nervures. Abdomen widened 
above, projecting a little on each side, convex beneath; abdo¬
