Hypsipyrgias, geii.nov. (Pl.xliii., figs.4-5). 



Somewhat allied to Dichocysta Champion, but with a very 

 different pronotal structure. Head small, with a basal sub- 

 porrect spine on each side laterally, one median immediately 

 anterior, and one or two between the insertions of the antennae. 

 Second segment of antennge about twice as long as the first, both 

 short, third about ten times as long as the second and more than 

 thrice as long as the broad fusiform fourth. Pronotum medianly 

 very highly elevated and vesicular, truncate in profile, anteriorly 

 acute-angled in profile, then perpendicular, the whole of the 

 vesicle reticulate, not carinate. Lateral margin of pronotum 

 areolately dilated, exteriorly rounded. Posterior lobe tricarinate, 

 middle keel anteriorly lost in the big vesicle, posteriori}^ forming 

 a small, elevated, areolate vesicle; the lateral keels run elevatedly 

 by the side of the large vesicle as far as the anterior margin. 

 Tegmina laterally rounded, widest at the level of the posterior 

 angle of the pronotum, suddenly narrowed after the discoidal, 

 thence continuing subparallel; discoidal area sharply limited; 

 subcostal biareolate, becoming 3- or 4-areolate posteriorly; costal 

 area uniareolate. Tegmina reaching far beyond abdomen. 



23. H. TELAMONIDES, Sp.nOV. 



Dark fuscous or pitchy; first three segments of the antennae, 

 bucculse, legs, etc., reddish-testaceous. Pronotum dark fuscous; 

 posterior lobe, anterior vesicle, venation, etc., yellowish. Tegmina 

 yellow, a large fuscous spot at the apex, not, however, discolour- 

 ing the veins. Length 3 J; maximum height about 1 J mill.

This curious species has some little general resemblance to the 

 American Membracid genus Telamoaa Fitch; the specific term 

 telamonides, however, is not used to express this resemblance.

General appearance of Teleonei)iia, but the discoidal area is 

 feebly marked off, and the subcostal area is multireticulate. 

 Head with two sublateral spines near the base, and two sub-
