Loxilobus , gen. nov. 
Plate I., fig. 8. 
Related to Acanthalobus , Hancock, but having the facial frontal 
costa roundly or convexly protuberant before the eyes ; the vertex 
not appreciably flattened, nearly equal or narrower than one of the 
eyes and fossulate on each side ; the body slender or of moderate 
width between the shoulders ; the posterior angles of the lateral 
lobes not at all or very slightly laminate outwards, the posterior 
angles being suboblique, but somewhat narrowly excised behind, 
or acute subspiniform ; the antegenicular lobe of posterior femora 
moderately conspicuous. 
Key to Species of Loxilobus. 
Body attenuate, pronotal process and wings long extended 
backward beyond the posterior femora ; posterior angle of lateral 
lobes acute. (Plate I., fig. 3, and plate III., figs. 16-16A) 
acutus , sp. nov. 
Body cuneate, pronotal process and wings abbreviated, not 
extended backwards so far as the apex of posterior femora;

middle carinate anteriorly and little elevated produced, on each 
side fossulate ; front margin of vertex advanced nearly as far as 
the eyes, provided on either side with a small rounded abbrevi¬
