Genotype of Hespera: Hespera sericea, Weise (tvpe in Lenin- grad ; Potanin Coll.). Genotype of Allomorpha: Allomorpha sericea, Jac. (type in British Museum). Body oblong; upper side (including the prouotum) densely covered with pubescence, generally subnitid. Head exserted;. b c Fig. 52. — Hespera rufipes, Maulik. Underside of prothorax: a, intercoxal process of presternum ; b and c, points which almost complete the closure behind of the front coxal cavities, d. Fig. 53.—Hespera oyanea, Maulik. One half of underside of prothorax: a, intercoxal process of prosternum ; b and <?, the two points which, if pro- duced, would complete the closure of the front coxal cavity, d. The specimen was tilted to show the coxal cavity to the best advantage, and hence the hind margin of the intercoxal process appears oblique. frontal elevations absent; interantennal carina present; eyes strongly convex. Antennae long, slender, generally extending to two-thirds the length of the body, but in some cases to the end of the body ; first segment long and club-shaped, second small, much.
