Herbert Osborn. 
Prokelisia, nov. gen. 
Agrees with Kelisia in the narrowed elytra, aborted wings and general 
facies, with Megamelus in the widening front, and keeled apex of vertex. 
Vertex long narrowing anteriorlv, front widening on its lower half, 
narrowing sharply to tip of vertex, the carinae not meeting but extending 
verv prominently over tip and on to vertex. Clypeus somewhat tumid, 
median carinae somewhat obtuse, lateral carinae distinct, curved; anten- 
nae with second joint short, tuberculate. Pronotum with three prom- 
inent carinae, lateral ones straight and reaching extreme margin. Scutel- 
lum broad, disk quadrilateral with posterior margin produced inta 
prominent obtuse point with reflected margins. Elytra long distinctly 
narrowed from near base to the tip; wings mere rudiments. 
Prokelisia setigera, n. sp. 
Light yellow or pallid, unicolorous except for row of dark pttnctures 
next lateral carinae of front, the tibial spines, teeth of spur, spines and 
claws of tarsi and spots on venter. Length : female 3.5 mm. ; male, 3 mm. 
Vertex longer than broad distinctly narrowing to apex, the carinae 
strong. Front conspicuous!}- widened at apex narrowed to tip of vertex, 
carinae high and extending prominently over tip of vertex; clypeus tri- 
angular lateral carinae curved. Pronotum wider than long carinae ele- 
vated, hind margin slightly emarginate deepest, at middle almost notched; 
scutellum truncate, hind lobe obtuse, margin strongly reflected. Tibial 
spur very large, broad, marginal teeth strong. Elytra long, narrowing to 
apex, veins minutely setigerous. Wings minute not reaching base of 
abdomen, apex obtusely angular, margins sinuate, no veins visible.
