LIX 
half transversely rugose, the anterior half tranversely rugulose, 
exceptely two levigate spots behind head, the centres of wich are 
coarsely panctate. Scutellum transversely rugose. Corium thickly 
and finely punctate, the costal margins darker in hue and very 
coarsely rugose. Rostrum just passing the anterior coxæ. 
Long. : 22 to 23 millim. Exp. pronot. angl. 14 millim. 
Hab. Niam-Niam (Bohndorff). 
The uniform and dark coloration of this fine species, renders it 
very distinct. 
SANDEHANA gen. nov. 
Head long and broad, the apex slightly concavely truncate, the 
lateral lobes much longer than the central and meeting beyond it, 
their margins somewhat laminately recurved ; antennæ five jointed, 
the basal joint not quite reaching the apex of the head. Pronotum 
with the lateral margins serrated, the lateral angles strongly 
produced in the form of obtuse spines. Scutellum triangular, its 
apex extending a little beyond the base of membrane. Corium with 
the lateral margins covering the connexivum: membrane extending 
a little beyond the apex of the abdomen. Rostrum short not exten- 
ding beyond the anterior coxæ. Sternum with a distinct and pro- 
found excavation between the anterior and the intermediate coxæ. 
Tibiæ sulcated beneath, the anterior tibiæ very robust and widened 
towards apex. 
I place this genus near Basicryptus from which the structure of 
the sternum and pronotum at once distinguishes it. 
Sandehana labiosa n. sp. 
Dark brownish; the antennæ, eyes and the posterior apices of 
the pronotal spines black. Membrane pale greyish brown, covered 
with numerous small black spots. Body beneath and legs ochraceous, 
thickly mottled with purplish-brown. 
Antennæ with the first and second joints cylindrical, the second 
longer than the first, third and fourth joints subequal in length and 
longitudinally striated, apical joint longest. Head coarsely punctate. 
Pronotum coarsely punctate and rugose from base to a distinct trans- 
verse ridge situated between the pronotal angles which are produced 
into broad robust spines directed outwardly, their apices obtuse 
and slightly notched behind, the lateral margins strongly serrated. 
Scutellum punctate and rugulose with a black slightly foveate impres- 
sion near each basal angle. Corium thickly and finely punctate. 
Long. : 16 millim. Exp. pronot. angl. 10 millim. 
Hab. Niam-Niam (Bohndorff).
