(Plate XLIY. fig. 7, and Plate XIII. fig. 8.) 
Small; colour ferruginous yellow ; pronotum raised, flat by the profile view, then 
elevated, with a truncated apex by the front view, without being cleft; tegmina 
somewhat greyish, obscurely divided by nervures on a dense membrane, into five 
apical areas. Embolium of the tegmina denser than the rest and punctured. No 
limbal border. 
The pronotum, unlike most of this genus, has no divided summit. 
LYCODERES GAFFA, Faivm. 
Fairm. l.c. PI. III. fig. 29, p. 524. 
Colour ferruginous brown or dark ochreous ; pronotum with a short bilobed 
summit, which is produced backwards as a flat falciform or hooked process. This is 
dilated at the posterior apex, and curved over the tegmina without touching them. 
Tegmina ferruginous hyaline, darkest at their bases ; fore-legs slightly spatulate. 
There are several specimens in the Hope Collection which differ in size and paleness 
of colour, and likeness in the curvature of the procephalon.

LYCODERES TRUNCATULIS (n.s. '(). 
(Plate XLY. fig. 1.) 
This species is remarkable for the high and almost foliaceous, that is, compressed 
pronotum, which is not cleft. The species fall under the genus Stregaspis of Stab 
The colour is uniformly warm ferruginous brown, with a paler yellow tinge in the 
fore portion, and this tone of colour is carried to the legs which are slightly spatulate. 
The texture of the tegmina is dense, with dark variegated markings, not easily defined.

Rather large; pronotum produced into a long laminated horn, cleft at the 
summit, and obscurely serrated at the sides ; broad between the shoulders ; the posterior

and very narrow limbus ; legs moderately long, the first and second tibiae slightly 
spatulate, and rather spinose. The female has large caudal valves.
