•36 MEMBRACID.i;. 



Length 10 ; breadth lat. pronot. process. 71 to 8 millim. 



Hah. •' India " {Brit. Miis.). 



Two specimens with no more precise locality than the above are 

 contained in the National Collection. The peculiar pale coloration 

 alone renders this species A-er'y distinct. 



2150. Centrotypus asmodeiis, sp. n. 



Black, legs brownish-ochraeeous ; tegmiua subhyaline, talc-like, 

 oblique basal ai*ea, costal and radial areas more or less black, apical 

 area and a spot near base bronzy-brown ; pronotum thickly, some- 

 what finely punctate ; lateral processes as seen from above 

 marginally laminate, w'iih. a strong carination before posterior 

 margin, apices narrov\ed and obliquely rounded, as viewed from 

 the front narrow and obliquely directed upward ; posterior process 

 much narrowed beyond middle, tricariuate above, the central 

 carination acutely raised, apex acute and very slightly passing the 

 posterior angle of the inner margin ; tegmina only punctate at 

 extx'eme base, the oblique blackish basal area occupying about one- 

 third of tegmen ; legs normal.

2151. Centrotypus ater, Buckt. Monoc/r, Membrac. p. 238, t. liv, f. .5 

 (1903). 



This species is not to be found in the Bucktou Collection and I 

 can therefore only reproduce the original description. 



" Whole pronotum dull black. Supraliumerals stout, broad, 

 acute and slightly recurved. Pronotum quite covers the abdomen 

 and legs. Tegmina with thick brown uervures, with the costal 

 areas brown and each with a dark triangular spot at the basal 

 margin ; the membrane otherwise is hyaline. The pronotum is 

 arcuate in front, but allows the head aud eyes to be visible above." 

 (Buchton.) 



" Size 14 X 11 mm."

 Emphusis, Buckt. Monoyr. Membrac. p. 256 (1903). 



Type, E. ohesus, Fairm., from Java *. 



Distribution. Oriental and Malayan Eegions. 



Buckton diagnoses this genus as follows : — " Pronotum without 

 suprahumeral horns, tumid and crescentic in form, much punctured. 

 Tegmina variegated with rich brown. Hind tarsi short." 



The pronotal lateral processes are, however, well developed, but 

 subhorizontally directed and apically recurved and iu a continuous
