Descriptions of New or Little-known Ortlwptera. 407 



femora tuberculate. The antennae are longer than in B. ocellata and 

 as long as in B. longicornis. 



This species differs from B. intermedia <$ by the more tectiform 

 prouotum and the presence of granules on the sides ; and by having 

 longer antennae than B. longicornis, in which the pronotum is also 

 granular although the granules are much less numerous, and by the 

 much more tectiform pronotum. 

 Length 40-53 mm. 



$ . Green or greenish yellow, face rugose and grauulose. Anterior 

 part with closely verruciform tubercles ; pronotum somewhat broadly 

 tectiform, anterior lobe 5-dentate and with the four lateral sinuses 

 very plain and having on each side of the crest a deep fossa-like im- 

 pression the sides of the anterior lobe are numerously verrucose, and 

 there are similar verrucose granules in the anterior part of the hind 

 lobe, the crest of which is occasionally slightly wavy ; on each side of 

 the pronotum are five raised, oblique silvery bauds uniting with the 

 humeral ridge which is very distinct to past the middle and is also 

 silvery white, the edge of the lower border is white along the sinuation. 

 The arcuate impression on the anterior part of the pronotum differen- 

 tiates this species from that of any other ? Bulla known to me ; but it 

 is found also although not exactly of the same shape in a new species of 

 P/ie//tora, described further on. Femora more or less sharply tubercular- 

 Length 39-46 mm.

BULLA INTERMEDIA, n. sp. 



$ . Light green ; antennae somewhat short, face very rugose but 

 not granular ; pronotum very highly arcuate and not obtuse at the 

 junction of the fore and hind lobes, the former short, sub-serrulate 

 and without well-defined lateral sulci ; coriaceous and roughly plicate, 

 the sides of the posterior lobe are closely punctate, the punctures being 

 somewhat grauuliform along the compressed part of the crest which is 

 slightly wavy behind, but not in front ; the nietasternuin bears a 

 lateral, parallel brown patch reaching from the tegmen to the coxa: 

 the lateral sinuation of the pronotum is somewhat pale navescent ; 

 the ocellate spot on the abdominal segment is very little defined and 

 occasionally absent ; the anterior and intermediate femora are not dis- 

 tinctly tuberculate. 



Length 41-42 mm. 



Female unknown.
