10. Tricentrus brevis new species. 



Small; black; finely punctate, sparsely pubescent. Head as long as broad; 

 eyes brown ; ocelli white ; clypeus projecting below line of cheeks and obtusely 

 rounded at apex. Pronotum obtuse, median carina faint. Hbrns short, sharp, 

 projecting outward and strongly backward and not as high as the dorsal line 

 of the pronotum. Posterior process strongly carinate, extending slightly be- 

 yond internal margin of tegmina and lightly upraised at tip. Tegmina smoky 

 hyaline, base black and punctate, narrow ferruginous fascia on outer margin 

 of tip. Under surface of body black and pubescent. Legs and feet uniform 

 ferruginous. Described from three males. Length, 4.6 mm. ; width, between 

 extremities of horns, 2.2 mm. 



Locality : Banguey Island. 



Close to the preceding species but smaller, more robust, and differ- 

 ing in the position of the pronotal horns and in the shape of the 

 posterior process. 



11. Platybelus luteus new species. 



. Uniform yellow ; punctate ; finely pubescent. Head slightly longer than 

 broad, clypeus projecting for more than half its length beyond margin of 

 cheeks ; eyes brown ; ocelli yellowish. Pronotum indented above head ; meto- 

 pidium convex. Horns long, strongly upraised, slightly carinate, apex sharp, 

 projecting upward, outward and backward. Posterior process slender, slightly 

 decurved, extending as far as the tip of the abdomen, apex fuscous. Median 

 carina prominent, percurrent, strongest on posterior process. Tegmina clear 

 hyaline, very lightly punctate at base. Under parts of body and legs yellow. 

 Type, male. Length, 5.5 mm. ; width, between extremities of horns, 3 mm. 



Locality : Banguey Island. 



Near P. flaz/us Sign., but differing, besides the habitat, in having 

 the tegmina clear hyaline without fuscous markings. 



This species bears a strong superficial resemblance to Scxtius 

 vircscens Fairm., of which I have specimens from the East Indies, 

 but the wings have three apical areas and the tibiae are not dilated.
