The Philippine journal of science. ept at basewhere face is subtumid, apical halfof face with deep lateral carinas;clypeus much longer than face,strongly tricarinate; rostrum as longas clypeus, reaching to beyond themiddle of abdomen, last segmentshort, greatly enlarged at apex so thatit forms a suckerlike pad; eyes reni-form, not reaching beyond the middleof the face; antennas about half thelength of face, terete, second jointslightly diminishing at base, flagellumat apex. Pronotum deeply and an-gularly emarginate on hind margin;mesonotum longer than broad, later-al angles behind middle, tricarinate,the lateral carinas being sutures withfine carinas on the outer edge. Teg-mina with six median sectors, the third furcate; cubitus withtwo veins with the first median sector approximate; clavussmall, open. The tegmen in this genus is similar to that in Paraprontista,to which genus it is related, but the vertex, the face, and theapical joint of rostrum easily distinguish the two genera. Type, Monochorhynchus wahri Muir. 217. Fig. 1. Monochorhynchus wahri g. etsp. nov., a, face, front view; b,vertex and pronotum, dorsal view ;c, genitalia, lateral view; d, ros-trum, lateral view. 218 The Philippine Journal of Science Monochorhynchus wahri sp. no v. Male.—Light brown, darker between carinse of mesonotum,across lateral portions of pronotum, end of rostrum, and overabdominal tergites. Tegmina hyaline, slightly tinged withbrown, clearer spots on basal half along costal and radial cells;wings half the length of tegmina, hyaline with brown veins. Pygophor very short, ventral edge slightly and angularlyproduced to middle; anal segment longer than wide, anus nearbase, lateral margins gradually converging beyond anus to therounded apex; genital style subquadrate, apex wider than base,dorsal edge with a small rim, dorsoapical corner forming a small,round knob with a small spine on it, apical edge with two small,strong spines on the inner margin.
