Singapore, British Straits Settlements, Malay Peninsula, (from 

 C. F. Baker), 1 d^. 



Kirby has given Penang, British Straits Settlements, as the type 

 locality for this species. We are unable to locate the source of his 

 information. 



The species was described from a female, but from the minute 

 tubercle above the ocelli and moderately granulate pronotal surface 

 we feel that the present association is correct. 



This specimen is compared with a male of C. meleagris Stal as 

 to the eyes, under the discussion of that species. We would further 

 remark that the pronotum is regularly oval rather than quadri- 

 lobate in form. The tegmina are transparent, hyaline, very weakly 

 tinged with green, except proximad in the discoidal field, where 

 this becomes stronger; with a very brief (1.8 mm. in length) trans- 

 verse band of mustard yellow, bordered proximad by a black line 

 at the end of the proximal third of the discoidal field. 



Length of body 23, width of head 4.4, length of eye 2.8, length of 

 pronotum 5, greatest width of pronotum 3, length of tegmen 21, 

 width of tegmen 5.2, width of tegminal marginal field 1.3, length of 

 abdomen 9.2, width of abdomen 5.1, length of cephalic femur 6.5, 

 length of caudal femur 6.1 mm. 



Creobroter labuanae new species. (Plate II, figure 7.) 



The present species appears to find nearest affinity with C. mele- 

 agris Stal. Compared with a male of meleagris^'^ before us, the 

 present male is found to differ in its somewhat smaller size, eyes 

 which do not project as strongly, smaller pronotum, which is weakly 

 granulate, with neck proportionately shorter and the margins of 

 the neck, shaft and supra-coxal expansion all four showing about 

 the same convexity. In addition the tegminal markings are much 

 smaller, yellow, not orange, with the discal spot showing only a 

 brief transverse black band which sends a short ray into the yellow 

 area. These features of coloration may be variable within the 

 species of the genus, however, and in the present case the differ- 



^* As noted under meleagris, lack of material of C. urbana (Fabricius) prevents 

 comparison, which species, from the literature, appears to be more nearly related 

 to C. granulicoUis (Saussure) in pronotal form, with lateral margins more evenly 

 expanding and in consequence decidedly less cruciform, though agreeing with 

 labuanae and meleagris in having a well developed spine above the ocelli.
