sent me a cotype of the Aiistralian Phaconeura Froggatti 

 KiRK. for comparison. Among the African forms the new 

 genus should be placed near Anigrus Stål, from which it is 

 readily separated by the medially carinate head and the some- 

 what different tegminal venation.^ Stål's description of the 

 head of Anigrus is seemingly very different from t hat of Para- 

 nigrus also in other respects, but this is due to the fact that 

 Stål regarded the vertex as consisting solely of the two small 

 triangulär basal areas and the short carina uniting them, 

 the remainder of the up]3er part of the head being regarded 

 by him as belonging to the front. In my description I have 

 designated as vertex all that part of the head between and be- 

 fore the eyes which is visible from above.

The small but complicated genital segments do not allow

 papers has published important contributions towards our 

 knowledge of the Fulgoridae. 



N. B. — KiRKALDY has also (Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. 1908, p. 

 13) given a short description of a Ceyloneee species of genus 

 Phaconeura under the name Ph. Fletcheri, stating that it 

 differs from the Australian type »by the claval veins being
