slightly paler coloration medio-longitudinally. Other portions 

 probably light green in life, now yellowish with tegmina strongly 

 tinged with green. Antennae blackish victoria lake ventrad, 

 slightly paler dorsad; showing distad two widely spaced, very 

 small buffy annuli. Tegmina with very minute flecks of victoria 

 lake in all areas between veins of discoidal field, these more nu- 

 merous toward sutural margin and mesad. Tarsi tinged with 

 brown.

The type of this handsomely colored insect is unique. 



Elimaea lamellipes new species. Plate XI, figure 3. 



This species is closely related to E. caricifolia Haan, 7 described 

 from Loetontoer, Borneo. Brunner 8 indicated that his E. femorata, 

 described from Borneo, might represent that species. After 

 careful comparison of the original descriptions, we follow Dohrn 

 who, in 1906, placed femorata in synonymy under caricifolia. 



The present insect differs in the generally smaller size, with 

 tegmina much narrower. Compared with the female, described 

 by Brunner as femorata, further decided difference is found in the 

 median vein of the tegmina, which does not branch mesad, the 

 tegmina which do not widen distad and the median femora which 

 are not carinate dorsad. 9 



Type: 9 ; Labuan, British North Borneo. [Hebard Collection, 

 Type no. 784.] 



Cephalic femora very strongly compressed and strongly curved 

 in a Phasmoid manner, lamellate dorsad except in immediate 

 proximal portion, this formed by the external margin which longi- 

 tudinally shows a broad convexity. Cephalic coxae unarmed. 

 Foramina of cephalic tibiae flattened conchate. Face, to clypeal 

 suture, strongly swollen. Tegmina with median vein branching 

 at end of proximal two-fifths, this branch sending two branches to 

 the sutural margin distad. Pronotal disk with surface flattened, 

 showing very feeble convexity cephalad, lateral margins very 

 broadly concave but showing irregularity by a minute emargination 

 a1 the principal sulcus, caudad of this the disk is defined from the

9 This latter feature may, however, be due to an error in description No 

 species of FJiimua is known to us having the median femora carinate like the 

 cephalic femora.
