Genus NEODENDROKARA novum 



This genus is differentiated from Dendrokara by the presence 

 of a well-developed subantennal plate and of moderately devel- 

 oped shoulder keels. It approaches Nesokaha, but the long basal 

 joint of antenna places it near Patara, a genus of which I have 

 not seen a specimen. 



Neodendi'okara crescentiformis sp. nov. Plate I, fig. 8. 



Male. — In profile, head oblong, longer than wide, no angle at 

 junction of vertex and face; vertex acutely angular, base keel- 

 less, sides with high keels, face narrow, keels contiguous to 

 apex; semicircular with slight antennal emargination on the 

 ventral margin; antennse with first joint longer than wide; 

 large second joint crescent-shaped, gradually thickened toward 

 apex, which thick end is hollowed, second joint attached by its 

 middle to the basal joint, large sense organs scattered over the 

 whole surface; clypeus narrow, shorter than face, and laterally 

 compressed, lateral carinse distinct, median indistinct; prono- 

 tum short, angularly emarginate behind, shoulder keels moder- 

 ately developed; mesonotum longer than wide, lateral angles 

 about middle, indistinctly tricarinate. Tegmina very similar to 

 those of Dendrokara torva. Yellow, keels of face and sense 

 organs on antennae reddish; tegmina yellow with yellow veins; 

 cubitus, median sectors, and apex of media tinged with red. 



Ventral and lateral edges of pygophor straight; anal segment 

 narrow, long, tectiform; anus near apex, beyond which apex 

 turned ventrad, roundly emarginate (forming a spine at each 

 apical corner) ; genital styles narrow, reaching to end of anal
