" Greenish-yellow ; head as long as broad * and as long as 

 pronotum, in front ' parabolisch ' rounded, centrally extremely 

 finely keeled, on whole surface wrinkled and punctate ; ocelli very 

 small, difficult to perceive, placed before middle and near each 

 other, whereby the species differs from all the other allied ones in 

 which the ocelli are generally very large and distinct and situate 

 in the middle or nearer the posterior margin ; face pale greenish- 

 yellow, the narrow front in middle distinctly furrowed ; pronotum 

 smooth, wrinkled and punctate, with two shallow impressions in 

 front ; scutellum with a fine angulate transverse line before apex ; 

 tegmina thickly and regularly punctate, hyaline, extending to the 

 apex of abdomen, with delicate indistinct veins ; legs as in the other

 anterior border angulated, sides convex, forming no angle before 

 the eyes, the upper surface thickly punctured ; pronotum on the 

 whole surface moderately thickly punctate, not wrinkled, with a 

 few shallow impressions ; scutellum with an angulated transverse 

 line; tegmina on whole surface regularly punctate ; wings hyaline;

I have not seen this species. 



* This appears to be an error, for in Melichar's figure tlie vertex is only 

 about half as long as the breadth between eyes.
