Belongs to Capsaria. 



Subelongate ; not (or only superficially) punctured. Scutellum 

 rugose -punctured. Head strongly declivous. Vertex immargiuate, 

 very narrowly longitudinally sulcate, a little impressed subtransversely 

 near the base. Clypeus somewhat prominent, not forming a continuous 

 curve with the head. Eyes large, contiguous with pronotum, extending 

 almost to internal margins of rostrum, second as long as high (in pro- 

 file), posterior margin sinuately emarginate (in profile). Antennae 

 inserted almost at middle of eye (in profile). First segment of rostrum 

 reaching to about the middle of prosternum, fourth segment extending 

 beyond posterior coxae. Pronotum one-half wider than head and eyes, 

 base two and three-quarter times as wide as collar ; one-third longer 

 than length of head (profile) ; base subsinuately rounded widely ; two 

 small sharply marked rounded tuberculate callosities ; lateral margins 

 not reflexed. Collar somewhat narrow. Stink-orifices large, suboval, 

 subauriculate. Major areole of membrane narrowly rounded apically. 

 Cuneus longer than broad at base. 



Not very closely allied to any other genus. 



M. hovana, sp. nov. 



Hairy and pubescent. Head pale sordid flavous, multistriate sub- 

 rotundately, and clouded transversely with sanguineous. Pronotum 

 pale luteo-flavous, mottled with brownish. Two subconfluent dark 

 brown blotches in the middle of the basal margin of the pronotum ; 

 callosities black. Three apical segments of rostrum and the stink- 

 orifices testaceous. Scutellum blackish brown, posterior angles pallid. 

 Elytra fuscous, cuneus blackish brown, a broad curved pale yellow 

 band across the middle. Membrane hyaline, fumate, nervures fuscous. 

 Underneath pale fusco-fulvous, darkening laterally. Eyes prominent, 

 each as wide as — or a little wider than — vertex between them. Vertex
