meta-stethium opaque, strigose, posteriorly and outwards sliining", pos-

 a. b. as in Odiaria, (p. 17). 



c. Lateral margins of the head and pronotum not or less acute, 

 those of the pronotum never laminated : juga rarely longer than the 

 tylus, then generally acuminated or gradually narrowed : frena generally 

 extended beyond the middle of the scutellum : in those genera in which 

 the juga are longer than the t3^1us, generally not extending beyond the 

 middle of the scutellum, in which case also the scutellum posteriorly 

 broad, or somewhat so : body sometimes greenish : venter sometimes with 

 a long furrow. 



d. Head flat, juga rarely somewhat longer than the tylus : scutel- 

 lum generally posteriorly narrow or moderately broad : frena generally 

 extended behind the middle of the scutellum : entire second joint of 

 the antennae, or a great part, extending beyond the apex of the head ; 

 venter not furrowed. 



e. First joint of rostrum very rarely extended behind the bucculse, 

 and if so, the basal angles of the scutellum have a largish, levigate, 

 callous, pallid spot. 



/. The furrow of the odoriferous apertures continued in a wrinkle 

 or ridge extended beyond the middle of the breadth of the pleurae, 

 gradually acuminated. 



g. Connexivum pale, green, or flavescent, without black or aenescent- 

 black spots or bands, occupying the entire breadth of the segments : 

 segments rarely more obscurely punctured anteriorly and posteriorly 

 than in the middle : basal angles of scutellum without a callous spot or 

 with a very minute and very obsolete one.

 acute, very slightly or but scarcely sinuate behind the middle ; juga a

 raised ; ocelli a little more than twice as far from each other than from
