India and Formosa. Life-Jnstorif unknown. This genus is one of the most conspicuous in the family. Its extremelv produced conical rostrum and still longer proboscis, its abnormal venation (due to the numerous additional veinlets in the subeostal cell), and the very distal position of the anterior cross-vein, with the peculiarly curved 1th vein and jirolongation
