24 Mr. A. White on some new species 



angled branches generally reaching the large middle nerve, the 

 outside edges of the green parts fading sometimes to white ; there 

 are some black transverse marks near the base of the elytra. 

 Wings black, most elegantly marked with many short very pale 

 bluish green abbreviated transverse lines, some of these angled ; 

 on the anterior edge are two or three faint whitish spots ; the 

 femora of middle legs and the femora and tibiae of hind legs are 

 green, in some specimens of a yellowish brown ; tarsi and fore 

 legs blackish brown ; ovipositor yellow, tinged with brown at the 

 end. 



Expanse of wings 4 inches 6 lines. Length from head to end 

 of ovipositor 2 inches 9 lines. Length of antennae 4 inches 8 lines 

 at least. 



Hab. Silhet, E. Indies. 



The legs are not spiny, and much resemble those of the Lo- 

 custa Nova Hollandia, De Haan, Verh. Nat. Gesch. t. 19. f. 4. 



This species, so remarkable for its fine colouring and marking, 

 would appear to be far from rare in Silhet, a country which would 

 seem one of the chief seats of the Locustidce. In the British 

 Museum is an enormous Pseudophyllus from that country, which 

 I have called Pseudophyllus Titan. The elytra green, somewhat 

 veined with yellow ; near the base there are two small ocelli ringed 

 with green, reddish and brown ; the wings are clear and veined 

 with green ; the thorax has somewhat serrato-spinose edges, except 

 immediately in front ; on the middle of its dorsal surface are many 

 short thickish spines, and two deepish transverse grooves ; the 

 middle and hind legs are very strongly spined, the fore ones 

 less so. 



Expanse of wings 8 inches 6 lines ; of the elytra at least 9 inches; 

 the neuration of the wings and other characters may entitle it to 

 generic distinction. 



HOMOPTERA. 



Aphana, Guerin. 



Aphana Confucius, White. Elytra of a light brownish ochre, 

 thickly sprinkled with black dots and small marks, irregular in 

 size ; black dots on the anterior margin ; a small whitish spot on 

 the posterior margin near the end. Wings ochrey orange, deep 

 red, close to the body, largely tipped at the end with black, the 

 posterior margin edged narrowly with dusky, twelve to fourteen 

 black spots on that part of the wing next the body, a few pale 

 spots on the other ochrey -coloured part. Tibia? of fore and mid- 

 dle legs blackish, with two pale rings ; hind legs palish yellow, 

 the tibiae on the outside with five spines. Head and thorax 

 brownish ochre. Abdomen above vermilion-red. 



Expanse of elytra 1 inch 8£ lines.
