ment. Pronotum with the anterior lobe finely and thickly- 

 punctate, excepting some irregular smooth markings, posterior 

 lobe rather coarsely and sparsely punctate, excepting the im- 

 punctate ochraceous borders. Scutellum thickly and rather 

 coarsely punctate, with a median, sparsely punctate, curved, 

 transverse callosity, emitting a keel to the apex. Elytra reach- 

 ing apex of abdomen, clavus coarsely punctate; corium, apart 

 from the usual seriate black punctation, finely and thinly punc- 

 tured with black in the apical part of the mesocorium. Abdomen 

 with the apical angles of the sixth female segment produced in 

 a short triangular tooth. Front femora rather strongly in- 

 crassate, about three times longer than broad, front tibiae 

 (female) slightly curved, first joint of hind tarsi nearly thrice 

 longer than the other joints together.

Genus PAMERANA Distant 



Pamerana Distant, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (1909), VIII, 3, 331; 

 Fauna Brit. Ind., Rhynch. (1910), 5, 53. 



Body elongate. Head exserted, horizontally porrect, longer 

 than broad, conically produced in front of the antenniferous 

 tubercles, which seen from above are usually directed more or less 

 obliquely outward, their exterior margins usually being more or 

 less divergent; eyes large but moderately prominent, postocular 

 part shorter than the space between eyes and base of antennae, 

 very slightly narrowed from eyes to base, with slightly rounded 

 sides, vertex less than twice broader than an eye, with two 

 longitudinal, slightly curved, subimpressed, levigate lines in 

 front of the ocelli, which are rather large and a little more 

 distant from each other than from eyes; first joint of antennae 

 shorter than head but considerably passing its apex, second 

 joint at least twice the length of first, third slightly shorter 

 than second, fpurth about as long as second, the low bucculae 

 evanescent in the middle of the horizontal throat, first joint of 

 rostrum not reaching base of head, usually equal in length to 

 first antennal joint, second a little longer than first. Pronotum 

 longer than head and at the base twice broader, strongly con- 

 stricted and transversely impressed near or behind middle, lateral 

 margins vertically convex, not carinate, basal margin straight, 

 posterior lobe somewhat sloping, strongly narrowed from base 

 to its apex, broader than the laterally somewhat rounded an-
