Median segment areolated, the keels not very distinctly 
defined; there are two central are, the basal reaches to the 
middle and is contracted roundly and largely near the base. 
Areolet slightly oblique ; the transverse cubital nervures are 
united above. ‘The second and third abdominal segments are 
closely punctured and longitudinally striated at the base; the 
ventral keel is largely developed on the second and third 
segments; the seventh segment is largely developed all 
round, 
The wings are hyaline; the head is large and broad and is 
well developed behind the eyes, which reach near to the base 
of the clypeus; they are margined on the inner side ; the tace 
is flat and is not separated from the middle of the clypeus ; 
the latter is bounded above on the sides by an oblique 
furrow ; the mandibles have a longish upper and a shorter 
stout under tooth, which is curved inwardly. Legs stout ; 
the tarsi spinose; the fore tibia are narrowed and slightly 
incised at the base and thickly spined; the abdominal segments 
are not angled at the apex laterally, but broadly rounded. 
The type of the genus is astoutly built insect, with a large 
head and stout short antenna. ‘The legs are also stout and 
with large hind coxe; the hinder trochanters reach to the 
apex of the third segment; the last segment above is more 
than one half the length of the penultimate. The dilated 
antenna in the female (the only sex known) and the absence 
of regular arez on the median segment would refer it to the 
Joppina, and, if anywhere, to the Hemijoppine Doryphore 
ot Kriechbaumer. The distinguishing characteristics are the 
short, stout, dilated antenna, the quite flat large scutellum, 
not keeled laterally, and the three central narrow arex, not 
clearly separated, on the median segment. ‘The median 
segment is large and has a gradually rounded slope; the 
spiracular area is bounded by two keels. 
Cratojoppa robusta, sp. n. 
Nigra; flagello antennarum late, facie, orbitis oculorum late, maculis 
late thoracis, lineisque abdominis, flavis; pedibus fulvis; coxis

nigris; alis hyalinis, nervis stigmateque nigris. 2. 
Long. 14-15 mm. 
Antenne black, stout; the scape beneath and joints 9-20 
white, beyond the middle compressed and dilated; the apex 
attenuated. ‘Lhe face, clypeus, labruin, the mandibles (except 
the teeth), the palpi, the orbits from the base of the antenne 
to shortly above the middle on the outer side narrowly, and
