The diagnoses of the two followiug species ai'e extracted from 

 those of the Rev. T. A. Marshall in the Ent. Mo. Mag., vol. ii, pp. 

 2G5-6 (1866), because the insects in his collection representing the 

 first species are, I regret to say, in such bad condition, owing to their 

 unfortunate submersion some years ago, as to render it an almost 

 hopeless task to make descriptions from them, and in the second species, 

 which he refers to with a ?, there being but a single specimen in the 

 collection of the late T. J. Bold, w^hich I have been unable to examine. 



Testaceous. Elytra at the apex with some of the cells margined with fuscous. 



Crown with two black spots on each side of the centre of the anterior margin, and 

 sometimes faint traces of irregular fulvous spots upon the vertex. Face^frons 

 above and on the sides bordered by a bisinuate black line, widest at the vertex ; 

 sides with transverse black lines, and some more or less obsolete black patches 

 in which are enclosed pale spots. Elytra almost unicolorous, with some of the 

 cells within and round the apex margined with fuscous. Wings hyaline. Legs 

 distinctly spotted with black ; tibicB : third pair at the apex somewhat fuscous ; 

 tarsi: apex of the joints sometimes fuscous 8. CORONIFER, Marshall. 



Fieber, in his catalogue, by mistake, attributes this species to Curtis. 



B. Yellow or oreexish-yellow species. 



Yellow or fuscous-green. 



Frons brown bordered with yellow on each side ; above the apex are two curved 

 streaks, the iipper one joined to the ocelli. Elytra p(>llucid, longer than the 

 abdomen, apex rounded ; nerves pale yellow ; apical c^'lLs in the middle obscurely 

 spotted with fuscous. Wings at the apex faintly smoke coloured. Legs pale.
