and a somewhat effaced triangular fascia crossing each side of disk, blackish. A black spot in front of 

 each anterior angle of the basal cruciforra elevation, the posterior margin of which is also black. Abdomen 

 above olivaceous, much shaded with Ijlack. Body beneath olivaceous ; a spot at base of each antenna, 

 apices of anterior femora, bases of intermediate and posterior tibiee, the anterior and intermediate tarsi, 

 and the apex of the abdomen, black. 



Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, the venation brownish-olivaceous; the first with the transverse 

 veins at the bases of the second, third, fifth, seventh, and eighth apical areas infuscated, and a marginal 

 series of fuscous spots placed on the longitudinal veins of the apical areas.

$ . Head, pronotum and mesonotum pale greenish, sparingly pilose ; head with the area of the 

 ocelli, and a spot on each side of base of front, black ; eyes browuish-ochraceous. Pronotum with two 

 central discal curved fascia;, which are united posteriorly, and a spot on the lateral margins, black. 

 Mesonotum with two central obconical spots at anterior margin, on each side of which is a larger angulated 

 spot, and a rounded spot at each anterior angle of the basal cruciform elevation, black (these spots are 

 more or less effaced in the typical specimen described) ; base of the cruciform elevation, a small spot on 

 each side of it, and a spot on each side of the basal margin of the metanotum, black. Abdomen ochraceoua, 

 strongly pilose, with three irregular longitudinal fuscous fasciae, — the central one broadest, those on the 

 lateral areas much angulated and macular. Bod}' beneath and legs greenish-ochraceous ; a spot at base of 

 antennae, posterior margin of face, a spot near bases and apices of femora, bases of tibiae, tarsal claws, and 

 the base and apex of abdomen, more or less black. 



Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, the venation more or less fuscous; tegmina with the costal 

 membrane greenish, its extreme margin black, the transverse veins at the bases of the second, third, 

 fourth, fifth and seventh apical areas broadly infuscated, and a series of fuscous marginal spots 

 placed on the apices of the longitudinal veins to apical areas; extreme bases of the tegmina and wings 

 ochraceous.

This gouus is of a very variable nature, if the subgenera enumerated above are to be 

 considered only in that limited sense. Karseh (siipni} has with considerable reason treated 

 them as distinct genera; but as the species in this fauna are not numerous, I have adhered 

 generally to Stal's arrangement, and therefore give the generic diagnosis as enunciated by him, 

 which embraces the different subsreneric divisions.
