Genus Alveotingis gen. nov. 
Head with, at least, five spines; eyes large, strongly granulate. An- 
tenniferous tubercles very large and long, resembling the basal segment 
of the antennae. Antennae strongly swollen, more than one-half the 
length of the body; first segment about twice the length of the second; 
second segment very short; third segment very long, more strongly 
swollen, largest; fourth segment very short, conical. Rostral sulcus 
rather broad, uninterrupted, open behind. Pronotum narrowed in front, 
with three longitudinal carinae, reticulated, except the antero-lateral 
areas) ; anterior margin with a single series of areolae; lateral margins 
foliaceous, composed of a single series of areolae, reflexed back against 
or nearly against the sides of the pronotum; posterior portion very broad, 
triangular. Legs long and robust. Elytra strongly convex; nervures 
strongly raised; costal area composed of a single series of areolae; dis- 
coidal, sutural, and subcostal areas not dififerentiated. 
Type of genus, Alveotingis grossocerata n. sp. 
Alveotingins grossocerata spec. nov. (Fig. 9). 
Head with five spines—a single median spine between the eyes, two short
