\/ Tribe Gyponini [= subf. Gyponina, Stal.] . 



This tribe has been in a chronic state of fluctuation as regards 

 its components ; at present, however, it may be regarded as dis- 

 tinguished by the generally flat and horizontal vertex, two basal 

 ocelli, antennae remote from the eyes, juga usually considerably 

 expanded, posterior lobe of intermediate coxse without an acute 

 spine. y 



EoGYPONA, gen. nov.* 

 l> 

 Closely allied to the American Gypona, Germ. Head clypeate, 

 not foliaceous, subhorizontal, slightly inclined upwards apically, 

 subhemispherical, subangular apically, lightly carinate medianly 

 longitudinally ; frons : basal half tumid, widely but superficially 

 sulcate medianly longitudinally, the apical half consists simply 

 of a narrow carina. The antennae are situated about midway 

 between the lateral margins of the head and the frons ; the first 

 segment of the peduncle is not so wide compared with the 

 second, as in Gypona. Rostrum very short, reaching to midway 

 between anterior and interior coxae. The genae are greatly 

 expanded dorsally and ventrally. Head, thorax, and elytra 

 somewhat closely punctured. Anterior margin of pronotum 

 slightly convex, posterior margin slightly roundly excavate ; 

 antero-lateral margin slightly longer than postero-lateral, these 

 two forming an obtuse angle with one another. Scutellum large, 

 subequilateral ; base of metanotum rounded. Elytra : claval 



■'■ ^^Eoogypona" perhaps more correctly, but the form given exceeds in 

 euphony.
