 Podops limosus, Walker, Cat. Het. i, p. 72 (1867). 



Tawny, punctured, piceous beneath : head carinated : pronotum 

 with an obliquely porrect spine on each side in front ; hind angles 

 forming two acute teeth : scutellum extending almost to the tip of the 

 abdomen, much narrower than the breadth of the abdomen which is 

 tawny along each side, beneath: femora piceous (Walker). Long, 6-7 

 mill. 



Reported from N. India : the colour distinguishes it from S. nigraj 

 Dallas, with which it agrees in structure.

Body briefly oval : head transverse, slightly convex, gradually 

 dilated forwards before tlje anteocular sinus : juga flattened, entirely 

 distant, not converging before the somewhat elevated tylus : antenni- 

 ferous tubercles produced outward in a conical spine placed in the same 

 plane with the lateral margins of the head ; bucculoQ continued through, 

 low, everywhere equally high : antennae shortish, basal joint altogether 

 visible from above, stoutish, second jaint much shorter than the third, 

 fourth joint somewhat shorter than the third, fifth joint a little stouter 

 than the fourth, elongate-fusiform: thorax transverse, anterior lateral 

 margins acute, irregularly serrated, famished with a process behind the 

 anterior angle, produced in an acutish tooth before the humeral angles, 

 disc transversely impressed in the middle, anterior lobe somewhat 

 rugose, furjiished on each side with a transverse furrow behind the 

 anterior margin which gradually disappears towards the anterior angles 

 and there approaches the anterior margin : scutellum large, longer than 

 the corium, reaching the apex of the abdomen ( d' ) or nearly reaching 

 it (9 )j slightly narrowed behind the base, thence slightly amplified ; 

 frena short : prostethium furrowed, furrow with moderately elevated 

 margins : feet moderate ; tibias furrowed : second genital segment in d* 

 entirely hidden, only the third genital segment visible {Horv.). Differs 

 from Scotinopharaj Stal, in the shorter rostrum and the gular ring with- 

 out a tooth on each side : from Amauropepla, Stal, in the head not being 



narrowed forwards before the anteocular sinus, in the tylus being 



somewhat eleyated, and in the rostrum being longer.
