R#oDIGINUS, gen. nov. 
Head triangular, rather narrowed in front; eyes large, 
prominent, somewhat exserted, their posterior margins almost 
touching the anterior margin of the pronotum; antenne 
moderately robust, first and fourth joints thickest, third joint 
minute ; pronotum strongly sinuated laterally, transversely 
impressed about centre, the lateral angles obtusely rounded, 
posterior margin slightly concave, anterior margin nearly 
straight ; scutellum moderately gibbous at base, with a central 
carinate line on apical half; corium short and narrow, barely 
occupying two-thirds the length of the abdomeu ; membrane 
very large, extending broadly from the apex of the clavus to 
the apex of the abdomen ; rostrum reaching the intermediate
