the annulated posterior femora and the strongly nodulated legs ; it 

 agrees with P. nigriceps in the general markings of the corium, but is 

 considerably larger in size, and also differs from that species by the 

 different coloration beneath, the apices of the femora not " pallidius 

 lurido-flaventibus," &c. 



PaoitJious talus, n. sp. 



Dull, dark reddish-ochraceous ; connexivum, abdomen beneath, apical thirds of 

 interaaediate and posterior femora, intermediate and posterior tibiae, and apices of 

 anterior tibiae, tarsi and antenna?, black ; apex of abdomen, apex, and four 

 small rounded spots on margin of connexivum, membrane, and two annulations to 

 basal joint of antennae, pale ochraceous. The anterior lobe of the pronotum is tu- 

 berculated, two tubercles on each side of base being very prominent, posterior 

 pronotal lobe very coarsely rugose, the lateral angles sub-prominent ; legs strongly 

 nodulated and pilose. Length, 20 mm. Breadth of angles of pronotum, Vi mm. 



Hab. : Sumatra (Forbes). 



This species is allied to P. Icarus, Stal, from which it differs by 

 the colour of the legs, the considerably greater width of the pronotum, 

 the more robust and strongly nodulated leg3, &c.

 Dundubla Bocki, n. sp. 



$ . Head and thorax, above, dull ochraceous or olivaceous ; abdomen, above and 

 beneath, castaneous. Head, with the area of the ocelli, black ; eyes castaneous, 

 speckled with ochraceous. Pronotum with two small black spots at centre of an- 

 terior margin, the lateral and posterior margins somewhat paler, the last inwardly 

 and outwardly narrowly bordered with black. Mesonotum with two central, con- 

 tiguous, obconical spots, their bases situate on anterior margin, the outer margins 

 very pale and bordered outwardly (at base) and inwardly (broadest at apex) with 

 black ; four sub-basal black spots, situate one on each side of the anterior angles of 

 the cruciform elevation, which is somewhat paler. Tympana ochraceous. Head 

 beneath, rostrum, sternum, legs, and opercula ochraceous ; apex of rostrum black ; 

 anterior tibisB, bases, apices, and a sub-apical annulation to intermediate and pos- 

 terior tibiae, fuscous. Tegmina and wings pale hyaline ; tegmina with the veins and 

 costal membrane dull ochraceous, and the claval area inwardly margined with dark 

 fuscous ; wings with most of the veins dull ochraceous, a few being fuscous. The 

 body is elongate ; the head, including eyes, a little narrower than base of pronotum ; 

 the face is pi-ominent and globose, transversely wrinkled, and with a deep and broad 

 longitudinal sulcation on disc ; the rostrum reaches the middle of the posterior 

 coxae ; the opercula are long, reaching the fifth abdominal segment, they are sinuated 

 and narrowed on each side near base, and at the region of the tympana, and are 

 then widened and rounded on each side, the apex being broad and rounded.
