ISSINAE. 



Hem isphacrius Schaum. 



This genus is in a very unsatisfactory state, despite the re/i- 

 sions of Butler and MeHchar. These revisions have been made 

 practically entirely on color and pattern, which are, judging from 

 the material before me, somewhat variable, certainly rendering 

 invalid Alelichar's preliminary divisions of dark and pale forms. 

 At the same time I have inade a new species on color and pattern, 

 as I have not the necessary material in other species to form an 

 opinion as to what structures are valuable for specific purposes. 



Hciiiisf>Iiacriits iiioluccaiius sp. nov. 



Male and female not very shining. Vertex, basal margin of 

 frons, a transverse stripe on the frons at the apical margin, an- 

 tennae, pronotum, scutellum, legs, etc., ochraceous. Clypeus and 

 rest of frons, genae, and most of the abdomen beneath, dark 

 piceous. Tegmina ochraceous, very closely lined irregularly 

 longitudinally (and shortly furcately) and specked with pale 

 greenish. Vertex more than twice as wide as its length, not 

 longer ( scarcely as long) than an eye, with two pits. 



Length to apex of tegmina 4 mill. 



Hab. : Amboina (Muir). 



Heinisphacrius javcnsis ^Nlelichar. 



Hab.: Larat (Muir). Previously recorded from Java. One 

 example is sufifused with rosy. This species also varies as fol- 

 lows . The tegmina from uniform pale green to piceous, there 

 l)eing intermediate forms. The frons from immaculate green to 

 blackish with a pale green transverse stripe at the apical margin. 



The nymph is like the adult, except that the hind tibiae are 

 rather dilated ; the clypeus is pale green. 



The nymph has a double row of oblique granules on the prono- 

 tum, the apical the longer. The large development of the teg- 

 mina makes the hopper very wide. The hind tibiae are flattened 

 and widened and have one median spine. 



The coloring is pale greenish, yellower on head and pronotum, 

 the urotergites very closely specked with brown. Legs brownish- 

 yellow, femora more or less infuscate. Stcrnopleurites mostly 

 fuscate. 



HcmispJuierius tristis Stal var. lincafalis nov. 



Hab.: Amboina (Aluir"). The type was from Batchian. 

 This agrees with the descri])tion of frisfis, as far as it goes.
