ZICCA.—VILGA. 147 
Z. consobrina, St&l, by the colour of the antenne. It is most closely allied to Z. nigro- 
punctata, De Geer, from which it structurally differs in having sinuated lateral margins 
to the pronotum, between the lateral spines and the posterior angles.

8. Zicca recurva, n. sp. 
Closely allied to the preceding species, but with the apices of the pronotal angles slightly directed backwards, 
and not forwards as in Z. teniola. Fuscous portions darker in hue; tibie distinctly annulated with 
black. . 
Long. 8-9 millim.

This peculiar and interesting genus, founded by Stal for the reception of Clavigralla 
acanthion, Dall., a species received from Para, is here augmented by a second Neotropical 
species, in which the somewhat abnormal characters are even more pronounced. These 
characters, distinguishing it from Zicca, are principally and superficially the spinous 
condition of the basal joint of the antenne, of the lateral margins and angles of the 
pronotum, the margins of the abdomen, and femora. 
A third and Palearctic species is known from the Persian subregion. 
1. Vilga dallasi, n. sp. (Tab. XIV. fig. 16.) 
Pale fuscous; second and third joints of antenne, tibie, and tarsi pale ochraceous. Basal joint of antenne 
incrassated and strongly spined; first and second joints subequal in length, second shorter than third, 
fourth shortest and thickened. Head furnished with a long slightly recurved spine on each side, a little 
behind the insertion of the antenne. Pronotum with the lateral angles acutely produced and armed with 
strong spines on each side, several like spines on each lateral margin and two on disk. Costal margins of 
corium and connexivum spinous, the last most strongly so. Femora spinous; tibie serrated. Rostrum 
just passing intermediate coxe. 
Long. 9-10 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, San Gerénimo (Champion).
