Subfamily BRYOCORINAE 
NOTIDIUS, new genus 
Body oblong, robust, impunctate, clothed densely with short, fine, 
simple hairs. 
Head large, strongly declivent, broader than long, seen from front 
triangular in form; vertex broad, more than twice as broad as an eye 
seen from above, without longitudinal sulcus, basal margin slightly 
convex, immarginate; frons moderately convex, clypeus moderately 
prominent, vertical, discrete at base; jugum and lorum discrete, gena — 
high, bucculae long. Eyes rather small but prominent, touching and 
producing over anterior angles of pronotum. Rostrum reaching upon 
posterior coxae, first segment reaching base of head. Antennae short, 
inserted at base of jugum, first and second segments incrassate, third 
and fourth segments very slender. 
Pronotum slightly inclined anteriorly, wider than long, about twice 
as wide at base as at apex. Basal margin somewhat straight before 
scutellum, humeral angles rounded, lateral margin straight, ecarinate} 
apical collar convex, as long as first antennal segment thick; calli very 
distinct, confluent except a small round depression between them, sepa- 
rated posteriorly from the posterior lobe of pronotum by a deep trans- 
verse line, forming a broad ring about twice as thick as the apical 
collar, posterior lobe about as long as apical collar and calli taken to- 
eether. Scutellum covered at base, triangular, moderately convex in 
middle, broader than long. 
Hemelytra complete, embolium narrow, embolar margin slightly 
convex; cuneus longer than broad, fracture distinct; membrane well — 
developed, unicellulate, inner apex of cell acutely angulate, veins 
covered with fine hairs. 
Xyphus of prosternum marginate, ostiolar peritreme obsolete. Legs 
short, femora incrassate, tibiae destitute of spinules; third tarsal seg- 
ment distinctly incrassate, claws broadly curvate, pseudarolia prom- 
inent, shortly laminate, projecting free at tip. 
This genus is unique in the subfamily Bryocorinae. It differs from 
all other genera by the peculiar structures of pronotum, antennae, 
and legs.
