Sub-genus: ANCHISTROTXJS, n.g. 
Pronotum much inflated, compressed between the shoulders and carinated ; 
posterior end globose, with a strong white apical horn, and two smaller spines ; 
surface sculptured into wavy lines, and powdered with small stellate yellow spots ; 
bead broad, with two almost uncinate eyes, whence the name I propose for the sub¬ 
genus. The ocelli are placed in deep pits on the frons ; the vertex of the head shows 
two dark spots which resemble, but are not the true ocelli. 
ANCHLSTROTUS OBESUS. 
(Plate XXXI. figs. 4, 4a-4c, and Plate XXXIT. figs. 2 and 7.) 
This uncouth-looking insect closely resembles a bloated spider. Colour dark- 
brown, powdered with stellate dots ; the base of the middle and apical horn is 
fuscous ; the tegmina are hyaline, with the apical part and part of the bases rich 
brown, the neuration dark brown and approximately like that of Combophora. Legs 
stout and pale ochreous. 
Eyes somewhat like a kidney bean. 
Size, 8x7 mm. 
Taken by Bates on the Amazms, and figured from the Hope Collection. 
* ayiirrpmros, hooked. It has been playfully suggested to me, that panis pruni should be the 
trivial name for this insect—so like a plum-pudding.
