Length 6.34-7.10 mm , width 4.27-4.46 mm . General body shape subquadrate. Antenna serrate beyond 5 th antennomere, 2 nd antennomere globular, 3 rd , 4 th and 5 th antennomere of equal size, subcylindrical, 6 th antennomere very short. Pronotum medially elevated, without pronounced tubercules, but with relatively short, acute ridges. Pronotal base opposite mesoscutellum (posterior pronotal lobe) with acute notch. Prosternal process approximately ½ length of entire prosternum, narrow, slightly broadening posteriorly. Anterior margin of metasternum forming an elongate projection. Mesoscutellum trapezoidal. Metascutellum not exposed. Sutural serra- tion of elytra complete. Elytral tubercules weakly developed. Tibiae slightly curved, flattened dorsally, with sharp edge dorsomedially. Fore- and midtibial apices without spine. Tarsal claw appendiculate. Distribution . Oriental Region ( Monrós 1952 ). Remarks . This genus can be separated from all other chlamisine genera by the anteriorly elongate metasternum projection (concave in other chlamisines), by the subcylindrical 3 rd , 4 th and 5 th antennomeres, and by the absence of spines on the fore- and midtibiae. Three species are known from India and Java ( Monrós 1952 ). Material examined. Hymetes javana Lacordaire : 1) a. [ Indonesia ] Java / b. F. Monrós Collection, 1959. 2) a.
