S . Head and thorax above ocbraceous ; head with the anterior margin of front, the area of the ocelli, 

 a small central spot on anterior and posterior margins of pronotum, and a small spot behind each eye, 

 black ; mesonotum with two obconical linear basal spots, which have a broken linear fascia on each side, 

 and a spot near apex of each anterior anr;le of the basal cruciform elevation, Ijlack. Abdomen above pale 

 castaneous, with the posterior segmental margins ocbraceous, and with two dorsal sublateral white fascia 

 extending from base to about two-thirds of the abdominal length. Body beneath and legs ocbraceous. 



Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, the venation ocbraceous, inclining to fuscous ; tegmina with the 

 costal membrane ocbraceous and the transverse veins at the bases of the second and third apical areas 

 very narrowly infuscated. 



The opercula are short and somewhat broad, concave a little beyond base, with their apices broadly 

 rounded and about reaching the apex of the second abdominal segment. 



Long. excl. tegm. <? , 30 millim. Exp. tegm. 80 millim.

This species has the elongated and posteriorly attenuated abdomen, so strongly 

 represented in some of the Pol}'nesian and Australian species of the genus, such as C. distans.

Body above ocbraceous, with the following black markings, viz. : — head with the margin of front and 

 a broad irregular fascia between the eyes ; pronotum with two central longitudinal linear fasciae, expanded 

 and united posteriorly, and a short linear fascia near each lateral margin ; mesonotum witli a central 

 longitudinal fascia, with a shorter and inwardly curved one on each side, followed by a subobsolete 

 obconical spot and a spot in front of each anterior angle of the basal cruciform elevation ; abdomen with 

 transverse segmental fascife and a spot at each lateral margin of the second segment. Body beneath, legs 

 and opercula ocbraceous, apices of the tibia), and the tarsi blackish ; a black fascia between eyes crossing 

 the anterior margin of face. 



Tegmina and wings pale hyaline ; tegmina with the costal membrane ocbraceous, and with the 

 transverse veins at the bases of the second and third apical areas, infuscated. 



Opercula reaching the apex of the abdomen, broad, with their apices obtusely rounded. 



Long. excl. tegm. J , 20 millim. Exp. tegm. 85 millim. 



Hab. — JL'VLAYAN Archipelago : Celebes (Pfeififer — Brit. Mus.) ; Menado (Bruijn — Genoa Mus.;. 

 Santa Cruz Islands : Vanikoro (Voy. Astrol.). 



There can be little doubt that though this species is shown to have such an extended 

 range, it will ultimately be proved to have a more connected and continuous distribution than 

 the above rcconk'd habitats would imply. There can be no question about its presence in
