of the dorsal margin distad. Subgenital plate short, truncate; 

 lateral margins rounding distad to the very broadly and weakly 

 concave caudal margin. Femora with ventral margins armed as 

 follows. Cephalic internal 3 and 3, cephalic external 0, median 

 internal 1 and 2 (very small spines), median external 4 and 4, 

 caudal internal 3 and 5, caudal external 6 and 8. 



General coloration cinnamon-rufous, faintly mottled. Head 

 with median ocellus buffy. Antennae of the general coloration, 

 with alternating segments tipped with prouts brown. Dorsal 

 surface of vertex, occiput, pronotum and anal field of tegmina solidly 

 russet, very narrowly bordered laterad with buffy. Tegmina in 

 other portions transparent cinnamon-rufous, paling somewhat 

 distad with occasional areolae of discoidal field toward the median 

 vein slightly darker than the others. Limbs cinnamon-rufous with 

 flecks of buffy to median portions of femora, remaining portions 

 washed with buckthorn brown and flecked with prouts brown. 

 Ovipositor ochraceous-tawny, becoming chestnut brown distad. 



Length of body 24.3, length of pronotum 6.1, cephalic width of 

 pronotal disk 2.2, caudal width of pronotal disk 4.1, depth of lateral 

 lobes of pronotum 4.7, median width of lateral lobes of pronotum 

 3.7, length of tegmen 35, median width of tegmen 6.3, greatest 

 (distal) width of tegmen 7.8, length of cephalic femur 5.8, length 

 of caudal femur 13.9, length of ovipositor 9.5 mm. 



The type is unique. 



Eppioides bicolor new species. Plate XVII, figures 15, 16 and 17. 



Very closely related to E. malaya here described, the present 

 insect, also kn^wn from a single female, may be distinguished by 

 pronotal differences, the longer and narrower tegmina and very 

 slightly longer limbs and ovipositor. 



We believe that males of these species will show further differ- 

 ences of decided specific value. 



Type: 9 ; Jelabu, British Straits Settlements. [Hebard Col- 

 lection, Type no. 834.] 



Agrees with the generic description and very closely in all 

 respects, except the following, with the description of malaya. 

 Pronotum distinctly more elongate; lateral lobes with ventro- 

 cephalic angle without a projecting apical angulation, caudal margin 

 with ventral portion more convex, this convexity terminating sud- 

 dently at the straight, oblique ventral margin. Tegmina more 

 elongate but distinctly narrower distad, with distal margin straight, 

 truncate. Ventral femoral margins probably very similarly armed 

 in these species, except that no minute spines are present on the 

 internal margins of the median femora in bicolor; the number as 

 follows. Cephalic internal 2 and 3, cephalic external 0, median 

 internal 0, median external 3 and 3, caudal internal 3 and 4, caudal 

 external 6 and 7.
