Corpus oblongum. Caput antice truacatum, deorsum modice 

 productum. Oculi magai autroreium convergentes sed baud ap- 

 proximati. ^jii^ewwcearticuloprimovalde curvato, quam secundus 

 duplo longiore, secundo tertioque subsequilongis, quarto quam 

 tertius paullo breviore. Hemelytra bomogenea. Pedes mediocres, 

 intermedii reliquis longiores ; tarsis anticis biarticulatis, arti- 

 culo primo minutissimo, articulo ultimo brevissimo, crasso, fusi- 

 form! ante medium biunguiculato ; tarsis iutermediis triarti- 

 culatis tibiis fere sequilongis, articulo primo minuto, articulis 

 secundo tertioque ajquilongis, ultimo fere ad basin fisso ; pedi- 

 bus posticis brevibus, tarsis uniartieulatis, tarsis anticis gracilio- 

 ribus et paullo longioribus, articulo fusiformi, pone medium 

 biunguiculatis ; femoribus posticis incrassatis subtus pone me- 

 dium serie spiuarum armatis, tibiis posticis eurvatis . 

 I am by no means sure that the hinder tarsi have not a very 

 minute basal joint. The spines on the hinder femora gradually 

 decrease in size, the first (^. e. the one nearest the middle of the 

 femur) being the longest. The structure of the tarsi at once di- 

 stinguishes Neovelia from Microvelia and other allied genera. 

 Name from reos and velia.
