abdomen with two superposed rows of ocellate patches on each side ; 

 fore and intermediate femora shallowly pitted. 



Length 26 mm. 



9 . Head closely granular from the vertex ; prouotum moderately 

 tectiform in the anterior lobe, and much less so in the posterior, the 

 crest of which is bi-sinuate, but the anterior lobe is not cristate and 

 has on each side at the junction with the hind lobe a deep vertical 

 depression bounded in front by a smooth whitish-yellow band, another 

 slanting baud beginning a little past the median part of the pronotum 

 reaches the outer margin, in front of the humeral ridge is a small 

 patch of the same colour, and a horizontal short band is situated 

 under this ridge, the whole surface is closely granular in the anterior 

 part, deeply and closely pitted in the median, and much more weakly 

 so in the posterior ; abdomen with three longitudinal rows of large 

 whitist flavescent patches narrowly edged with brown. 



All the markings are doubtless silvery in life. 



Length 21 mm.

CYSTOCOELIA BOSCHIMANA, n. sp. 



? . Greyish flavescent with the crest of the pronotum, the humeral 

 ridge and the legs ashy biue ; whole face covei'ed with closely set but not 

 contiguous granules ; pronotuni tectiform, but the crest is moderately 

 arcuate on the anterior lobe only, that of the posterior being distinctly 

 sinuate in the anterior part, the anterior lobe and the first half of the 

 posterior are closely granulate, the posterior deeply and irregularly 

 punctate ; on the upper sides are three subhorizontal cretaceous bands, 

 the intermediate mixing sometimes with the posterior, and the border 

 of the lower margin is banded with white from the apex to the median 

 part ; the horny, black reticulated tegmina are very short, reaching 

 only the edge of the first abdominal segment which in addition to 

 a row of silvery patches on the middle of the upper side have two on 

 each side, the patches are more quadrate than elongated, but disappear 

 on the three posterior segments, there are faint traces of a third 

 lateral row as well as of a median ventral one. The impressions 

 on the anterior tibiae are flavous, and not tuberculate. 



This species is very distinct from the same sex of Cystocoeiia inanis, 

 Fabr. The shape of the pronotum is not unlike that of Pneumora
