KONGOTA, gen. nov. 



Head (including eyes) about as wide as base of mcsonotum, 

 anteriorly subtruncate, deflected in front of eyes ; pronotum 

 transverse, its posterior margin about half the length of its 

 vertex, the lateral margins ampliately and subangulately 

 produced, their apices extending to about the base of basal 

 cell of tegmina ; mesonotum about as long as pronotum ; 

 anterior femora basally and subapically tnberculously spinous ; 

 posterior tibiae with a few spines on apical area ; metasternura 

 elevated and centrally sulcate; tympanal coverings moderate 

 in size ; opercula short and broad, their apices more or less 

 convexly rounded ; rostrum reaching the posterior coxae ; 

 tegmina with the costal membrane much arched at base and 

 dilated, broader than the costal area, basal cell very broad ; 

 ulnar veins widely separated at their bases. 



Type, K. punctigera, Walk. [Platy pleura) . 



Umjaba, gen. nov. 



Head (including eyes) only about two thirds the width of 

 base of mesonotum, not truncate anteriorly, but obliquely de- 

 flected in front of eyes ; pronotum transverse, its posterior 

 margin about half the length of its vertex, the lateral margins 

 ampliated, a little angulated anteriorly and posteriorly, but 

 not medially, and not reaching base of basal cell of tegmina ; 

 mesonotum slightly longer than pronotum ; anterior femora 

 tnberculously angulated near base and apex; posterior tibiae 

 with a few spines on their apical area ; metasternum elevated 

 and centrally sulcate; tympanal coverings broad; opercula 

 short, broad, their apices more or less convexly rounded ; 

 rostrum just passing the posterior cox?e; tegmina with the 

 costal membrane much arched at base, but very much narrower 

 than the costal area, which is broadly dilated, basal cell very 

 broad, ulnar veins widely separated at their bases. 



Type, U. evanescens, Butler {Platypleura) .

 base of mesonotum, not truncate anteriorly, but obliquely 

 deflected in front of eyes; pronotum transverse, the posterior 

 margin about half the length of its vertex, the lateral margins

 the base of tegmina ; mesonotum about as long as pronotum ;
