SPEUSIPPAS, gen. nov. 
Body oblong ; head long, rather broadly truncate at apex, 
with a distinct collar and the hinder margin of the eyes well 
separated from the anterior margin of the pronotum, the 
head is slightly depressed forwardly and moderately elevated 
between the eyes; rostrum reaching the intermediate coxe, 
basal joint not produced to eyes; antennze with the basal 
joimt considerably passing the apex of the head; pronotum 
longer than broad, transversely impressed before middle, 
anterior lobe convex, narrower than posterior lobe, narrowing 
to apex, posterior margin slightly concave ; scutellum scarcely 
longer than broad ; corium with the lateral margins concavely 
sinuate, membrane passing the apex of the abdomen; anterior 
femora somewhat strongly incrassated, with a strong robust 
spine beneath near centre and from thence to apex finely 
spinous, intermediate tibize less incrassate but spined as in 
anterior femora. 
This genus may be provisionally placed near Allocentrum 
(Phoroneus, Stal).
