Ochrophara Stål, 1871

Identification. Ochrophara is distinguished from other genera of the tribe Sephelini Breddin, 1904 by the following characteristics: body robust; head as long as its maximum width across compound eyes; mandibular plates reaching beyond apex of clypeus, separated from each other at their apices; and humeral angle of pronotum strongly protruding outward ( Stål 1871; Kirby 1891; Distant 1902; Zheng and Liu 1987; present study). The following recorded specimens match these diagnostic characteristics ( Figs. 1, 2) and could be identified as Ochrophara without uncertainty.
