Characters. — Form elongate, slender (much resembling members of the subfamih Hiiif^us!>iae). 

 Head with the vertex subtruncate, distinctly elevated above the eyes, juxta-ocular sulci very deep and 

 sharply delimiting the eyes from the frontal processes; facial shield as high as broad, the dorsal margin 

 subrectangulate ; frontal processes elongate, lanceolate, hmi^ei than the head is broad, contigucnis, the 

 apices acute, the margins undulate: antennae elongate, slender, of male serrulate on the internal side, 

 of female setaceous; eyes rounded, directed anteriorly. Pronotum elongate, the shaft slender, subequal 

 and over two-thirds the entire pronotal length, trigonal in section; ampliation short and decided with 

 the f)Utline rounded, the anterior extreinitv being trilobate in consequence; margins uniformly serrulate. 

 Tegmina subaciiininate, moderately opaque, subcoriaceous. costal field of the female narrow, the 

 greatest width not more than a fourth the total tegminal width, gradualh' narrowing to the apex, not 

 distinctly excised. Wings of female hyaline except at the apex, which is partially coriaceous-opaque; 

 the humeral field considerablv surpassing the axillary field; diseoidal vein ramose. .Abdomen bearing 

 median foliaceous lobes on the \enter of the distal segments and supplied (in lobipes) at the angles 

 of the same segments with smaller but similar appendages. Trimbs strongly lobate; anterior femora 

 with a distinct acute preapical lobe on the dorsal margin, diseoidal spines four in number, external 

 margin of femora armed with four spines; the median and posterior limbs with strongly developed 

 lobes, the femora with the margins with from i>ne to three marked lobes, the tibia- with a pair of 

 premedian more or less angulate lobes. Tarsi elongate, the first joint longer than the others together.
