L[ST OF HOMOPTEROUS INSECTS. 43 



This species and H. gemmatus, page 257, will form a fourih 

 group, dislintruished from the third by the more compressed horn of 

 the head and by the broader wings. 

 a. North India. From Mr. Stevens' collection. 



Genus PYROPS, CxL Horn. p. 267. 



PVROPS INTRICATA. 



Fulva aut livida ; caput subcarinatum, subtuberculalum, corpora 

 vix brevius ; abdomen supra nigrum segmentorum marginibus 

 posticis tesiaceis, subtifi teslnceum fascia lata nigra ; alee an- 

 tic(2 tuberculis nonnullis fulvis, venis nigris, venulis transver- 

 sis obliquis ramosis plurimis ; posticce vitrecBf basi laclea, 

 venis viridibus. 



Tawny or livid. Head almost as long as the body, slightly 

 ridged and tuberculate. Abdomen blacii above ; hind borders of 

 the segments testaceous ; under side testaceous, with a broad black 

 stripe. Fore wings with several minute tawny tubercles, paler to- 

 wards the base, wliere there are no tubercles ; veins black ; trans- 

 verse veinlets oblit^ue, ramose, and extremely numerous. Hind 

 wings vitreous, with a milky tinge towards the base; veins green, 

 darker towards the tips. Length of the body 12 — 14 lines; of the 

 wings 18 — 22 lines. 



This species was included, by mistake, with P. punctata, in 

 page 26\) of the ' List of Homoptera.' It may be distinguished from 

 this species by the veining and tubercles of the fore wings. 



a — c. Port Natal. From M, Gueinzius' collection. 



Genus DIAREUSA. 



Hotino affinis. Caput cornii brevi recto ascendente, subcom- 

 presso, antice sublaliore, carinis duabus contiguis, subtus trica- 

 rinatum. 



Allied to Hotinus. Head not longer than the thorax ; horn in 

 front straight, ascending, slightly compressed, very slightly increas- 

 ing in breadth from the base to the tip, with two contiguous keels ; 

 under side with three separate keels ; the middle one slight. 



This genus connects Phrictus and Hotinus, resembling the 

 former in the structure of the fore wings, and the latter in the struc- 

 ture of the head.
