genus in subfamily Capsinae. Differs from Paurolygus in the long first antennal 

 segment and punctate character of the pronotum, also by the smaller scutellum 

 (Text-fig. 8). 



Head vertical, frons moderately convex, tylus without suture at base, 

 impunctate, shining ; vertex ecarinate, although basal edge distinctly arched ; 

 eyes rather large, but projecting only very little above general contour of frons 

 and vertex. Rostrum reaching upon hind coxae. First antennal segment 

 rather long, nearly equal to half the length of segment 11. Pronotum with 

 lateral margins rounded, ecarinate ; calli poorly defined, merely indicated by 

 slight swellings ; collar narrow, but clearly defined by a deep stricture. 

 Pronotum and clavus coarsely punctate, scutellum more finely punctate ; 

 corium with a row of punctures bordering claval suture, also five or six punctures 

 on basal half. Genital claspers distinctive.
