 angulated, and the face is robust and tumid.

 central black lines, united at base, and a black spot on each lateral margin. Mesonotum with the following 

 black markings : — tnz. three central lines, the central one extending across disk, followed by a shorter line 

 on each side, and again by an ii-regular line which reaches nearly across disk, and a black spot in front 

 of each anterior angle of basal cruciform elevation. 



Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, the first with the costal membrane and venation ochraceous, the 

 transverse veins at bases of second and third apical areas infuscated ; venation of wings generally 

 ochraceous. 



The rostrum reaches the apices of the posterior coxse ; the opercula are small, not reaching the apex 

 of the basal segment of the abdomen. 



Long. excl. tegm. <? , 28 millim. Exp. tegm. 75 millim. 



Hab. — Narkondam Island (Calc. Mus.). 



* Kina Balu Mountain is, judging from Mr. Whitehead's collections, a prolific entomological locality, and particularly 

 rich in Homoptera. I have already remarked on the large number of " lantern flies" — Falgoridce — found on this limited area 

 (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 6, vol. iii. p. 419). These eastern insular mountains have generally a great wealth in insect-life, 

 ;is has been pointed out by Mr. Moseley on the summits of the volcanoes of Gunong Api in Banda, and on the one belonging 

 to Ternate (A Natmalist on the 'Challenger,' p. 384), and by Mr. Hickson on the Ruang Volcano in the Celebesian group of 

 islands (A Naturalist in Celebes, p. 46).
