Ippatha
(after Gross 1975): Body ovate, moderately convex; head broader than long, large, flattened above, almost as long as the pronotum, lateral margins somewhat convex, acute, juga very broad. Eyes large and directed a little upwardly and backwardly. Pronotum twice as wide as long, anterior margin straight, lateral margins also almost straight and diverging posteriorad, posterolateral margins slightly convex, hind margin straight. Scutellum almost reaching apex of abdomen, considerably longer than broad, lateral margins nearly straight, divergent only anteriorly, apex broadly rounded. Outer margin of corium exposed for all its length outside of scutellum. Beneath rostrum reaching to hind coxae, all sterna sulcate but relatively shallowly so and prosternal sulcus without raised lateral margins.
Species are here tentatively placed into Ippatha pending further investigation by an Heteroptera specialist.
