Subfamily DERAEOCORINAE 
ANCHIX, new genus 
Body ovate, glabrous, robust; pronotum, scutellum, hemelytra, and 
propleura coarsely punctate. 
Head small, subhorizontal, seen from above distinctly longer than 
wide, seen from side much longer than height; vertex narrow, in- 
distinctly longitudinally sulcate; clypeus prominent, anterior margin 
broadly rounded, confluent with frons at base; jugum flat, lorum 
tumid. Eyes large but not prominent, occupying the whole height 
of the head, removed from the anterior margin of pronotum, anteocu- 
lar part longer than postocular part, a distinct constriction separat- 
ing the postocular part into a broad collum. Rostrum surpassing 
_ middle of mesosternum, thickened at base, tapering toward apex, first 
and second segments subequal in length, third longer, fourth longest, 
about as long as first and second taken together. Antennae linear, 
inserted at anterior margin of eyes, first segment incrassate, distinctly 
surpassing apex of head, the remaining segments slender; second 
slightly incrassate toward apex, second and third subequal in length, 
fourth short. 
Pronotum a little broader than long, strongly narrowed toward 
apex, posterior lobe strongly convex, declivent, posterior margin 
broadly rounded, humeral angles obtuse, lateral margins vertically 
rounded, strongly sinuate, with a slightly raised smooth carina sep- 
arating propleura from pronotum; apical collar distinct, flat, about 
as long as the width of vertex; calli moderately elevated, confluent, 
ee Scutellum somewhat flat, covered at base, wider than 
ong. 
Hemelytra complete, considerably surpassing apex of abdomen; 
embolium broad, strongly inclined laterally, lateral margins strongly
