1880.) 251 



Thorax : pro- and mesonotum green, convex both longitudinally and transversely, the 

 former scarcely as broad as the anterior portion (dorsulum) of the latter. 

 Elytra pale, scarcely transparent, apical half pale dirty yellow: anterior margin 

 concave next the apex of the basal costal cell ; radius suddenly concave towards 

 the dorsal margin, immediately on leaving the nerve of the costal cell, then 

 almost straight until near its extremity, where it curves round and joins the 

 costal margin a little way before the apex ; petiole of the cubitus longer than 

 the posterior arm ; posterior furcation elongate, the inner nerve directed towards 

 the apex of the clavus, which it almost reaches. Legs green. Tarsi : 2nd joint 

 brownish. 



Abdomen green, ^ processes scapulate at the apex. Length, 1 line, barely. 



A single specimen from the Caucasus. Neither date of capture 



nor food-plant given. 



Aphalaea unicoloe. 



Buff. Head almost twice as broad as long, considerably depressed on each side of 

 the centre. Crown : posterior margin veiy slightly concave. Face : anterior 

 margin flatly hollowed out in the middle. Antennce buff, terminal three joints 

 dark brown. 



Thorax : pronotum buff, considerably deflected towards the head, almost uniform 

 in width, with two deep fovese on each side, placed one near the outer margin, 

 and the other about in a line with the inner margin of the eyes : mesonotum 

 convex, widest across the base of the posterior portion. Elytra transparent, 

 pale yellow with a slight fuscous tinge, thickly and finely wrinkled transversely, 

 costal margin at the base broadly rounded, costal basal cell broadest in a line 

 with the base of the cubitus, its apex terminating in a short narrow stigma ; 

 radius almost straight, extending to the apex ; petiole of the cubitus longer 

 than the posterior arm ; width of the cells of the furcations measured on the 

 margin almost equal. Legs buff. Claws dark brown. 



Abdomen, 2 , buff, slightly greenish on the under-side at the base ; genital plate 

 elongate, about one and a half times as long as the basal margin. 



Length, I5 line. 



The fine transverse wrinkling of the glossy and transparent elytra 

 is the best character I can at present give for distinguishing this from 

 all the other species of this genus. 



A single $ example from Sarepta, but neither food-plant nor date 

 of capture indicated. 



Aphalaea bicoloe. 



Deep reddish or pui"plish-black. Head about one and a half times as broad as 

 long. Crown generally reddish -brown ; the usual fovea on each side distinct 

 and darker than the other portion of the surface, posterior margin concave. 

 Face, aiiterior margin faintly hollowed out in the middle. 



Thorax : pro- and mesonotum deep reddish-black, lateral margins, especially at and
