venation is similar to a Stictocephala, the general shape of the 

 insect suggests a Cyrtolobus. I propose, therefore, a new 

 genus to include this rare and interesting form. 



STICTOLOBUS new genus. 



Allied by wing venation to the Cerasini near Stictocephala 

 Stal. Pronotal hump entirely different, suggesting Cyrtolobus 

 Coding. 



Head with median sulcus faint, two rather prominent oval 

 callosities either side, between the ocelli ; ocelli about equi- 

 distant from each other and eyes ; eyes rather prominent, their 

 diameter equalling one-fourth the width between eyes ; head 

 with median length only one-half width between eyes, contour 

 of cheeks convex, basal contour of head sinuate, disk of face 

 vertically rugose. 



Metopidium a little wider than high : lateral angles short 

 triangular directed backward ; a smooth callosity above each 

 eye extending from lateral margin about one-third distance of 

 the base of the metopodium ; median carina almost obsolete at 

 base, becoming stronger posteriorly ; whole metopidium finely 

 and uniformly punctured ; pronotum long, not high, highest at 

 middle ; base distinctly sinuate, whole surface, save two im- 

 punctured lines either side, finely and evenly punctured ; im- 

 punctured lines arising above and behind humeral angles ; one 

 running along the lateral margin of the pronotum to behind the 

 middle ; the other arising about half way between the humeral 

 angles and the dorsal carina, curving upward and backward 

 and eventually downward in a wide curve to meet the impunc- 

 tured line on the lateral margin of the pronotum ; posterior 

 process long, subulate, strongly curved downward, equalling 

 the abdomen, shorter than the fore wings. 



Legs normal, hind tarsi longest. Fore wings, venation simi- 

 lar to Stictocephala Stal. Subcosta marginal unbranched ; 

 radius with three branches ; medius with two branches, medius 

 I plus 2 and medius 3 plus 4 : medius merging with radius for 

 more than half its length, then suddenly divergent and running 

 free until it branches ; medius i plus 2 merging with radial sec-
