Aufiterna, gen. no v. 



Allied to Aufidus but tegmina more coriaceous and venation 

 different. Pronotum anteriorly with 2 naked callose spots. 

 Posterior margin emarginate, while it is truncate in Aufidus. 

 In t'he tegmina there are 3 discoidals (subapical), 4 apicals well- 

 marked, while there are another 5 small cells marked off on 

 the costal cell. There is a narrow appendix. This genus seems 

 to me more allied to Polychaetophycs and other Cercopine genera 

 than to most Rhinaulacine forms. 



I. ptycloidcs, sp. no v. 



Brownish testaceous, witli ]^aler pubescence; ocelU red. Api- 

 cal 'half of tegmina hyaline. Beneath testaceous, lateral mar- 

 gins of abdomen more or !ess sanguineous. On the costa about 

 i\v& middle of the wing and extending inwards a little is a dark- 

 brown smudge. 



Length: 5-5^ mill.

 mina coriaceous, 3 discoidal (subapical, and 4 apical )costa with 

 m.an)r cells anteriorly), two of the apical veins forking near the 

 apex.
