 brown, inclining to black on dorsum ; legs, rostrum and antennae 

 yellowish, except the last tarsal and labial joints, which are dark; 

 tegmina dark brown, a small yellowish patch at end of costal cell, 

 reaching from costa to media, with a dark spot in the middle of

Habitat : Taiti. 



For reasons stated under Ccdtisa, I have separated this species 

 from such forms as Lamcnia viiU^aris. I consider it likely that 

 Thyroccphahis Kirk, will eventually be sunk into this genus. 



Thyroccplialus Kirk.

The type of this genus (leticoptcrus), owing to a defective 

 specimen, was characterized as having a 5-carinate scutellum and 

 so illustrated ; it has only a central carina. The tegmen figured 

 in Bull. Ill has the first cubitus vein abnormally approaching the 

 media (media-cross vein very small), another specimen has it 

 absolutely touching. This genus is near to Stal's Lamcnia and 

 may be eventually synonymized therewith. 



(1) T. fiavo-monilc sp. nov. (5 5). 



Pronotum, head, legs and ventral side of thorax and abdomen 

 yellow, scutellum dark brown, distal portion of facial keels, cly- 

 peus, mark on metapleura, anterior and middle tibiae and upper 

 portion of obdomen fuscous ; tegmina hyaline, slightly opaque, 

 brown veined, the brown spreading out broad toward base of 

 veins, filling most of the clavus ; wings hyaline, brown-veined. 

 Tegmina, wings and body covered with white flocculent waxy 

 secretion. Genital style with fairly long, pointed and curved 

 apex ; anal segment narrowly rounded at apex. 



Length of body 4.6 mm. ; tegmen 4.7 mm. 



Habitat : Amboina, Ceram, and Larat. 



The nymph of this species has a broad face, the sides outwardly 

 curved, narrowest at apex and base, a wide area, about a fourth, 

 along each side being beset with wax pits.
