(broadly) and posterior margin (narrowly) of embolium and posterior margin (narrowly) of 
cuneus dull, pale stramineous ; antennz pilose with the first joint black, not quite reaching 
apex of head, second black with its apex ochraceous, about twice as long as first, first and 
second moderately thickened, remaining joints ochraceous ; head considerably longer than 
breadth at base; pronotum transversely constricted near middle, behind which it is 
thickly, rather coarsely punctate, before which it is transversely globose and rugose ; 
scutellum moderately foveate, transversely ridged at base and with a central longitudinal 
ridge ; corium distinctly pilose; legs piceous, tarsi ochraceous ; body beneath imperfectly 
seen in the unique typical carded specimen.

OSTORODIASOIDES, gen. nov. 
Elongate, subdepressed ; head anteriorly narrowed and produced in front of eyes, 
distinctly longer than broad; antennze setose with the first jomt not reaching apex of 
head, second joint more than twice as long as first, first and second moderately thickened, 
third and fourth joints each shorter than second ; rostrum passing the anterior coxe, first 
joint about reaching base of head; pronotum with an anterior collar, transversely 
constricted behind middle, before the constriction a central and lateral foveation, anterior 
margin nearly half the length of posterior margin, which is concavely sinuate ; scutellum 
subtriangular, apically depressed ; corium with the margins subparallel, the cuneus large, 
almost equilateral; anterior femora broadly thickened, shortly spinose beneath ; tarsi

setose, first joint not reaching apex of head, second more than twice as long as first, both 
moderately thickened; pronotum behind the transverse constriction distinctly punctate, 
before constriction with three foveations, one central and one near each lateral margin ; 
scutellum abruptly deflected from base to about middle, where it is transversely 
constricted ; corium finely pilose, cuneus more strongly pilose and a little darker in hue ; 
membrane dull ochraceous; body beneath and legs ochraceous ; anterior femora broadly 
thickened, shortly spinose beneath; other structural characters as in generic diagnosis.
