BREDDINIELLA. 447 



the tops of the gibbosities often pale ; corium darker in the costal 

 area, the disk with a posterior somewhat small brown or blackish- 

 brown spot ; membrane brown, excepting each edge and a mar- 

 ginal convex spot at the internal edge ; connexivum bx'own or 

 greenish-black, with a metallic reflection more or less accentuated, 

 the apical part of the segments pale ; mesosternura laterally 

 black ; abdomen beneath, on disk at least, of a brilliant black 

 tinted with metallic green — often also the fourth and (iith seg- 

 ments, sometimes also the third, are uniformly outwardly so (or 

 marked with black), the black coloration of the disk extends less 

 outwardly on these segments than on the preceding ones, the 

 sixth segment black from the base only to the middle ; stigmata 

 dark ; the basal spine always pale (sometimes the disk is spotted 

 on the third segment with flavescent) ; the anterior legs have their 

 front pale flavescent, the top of the tibial dilatation black (more 

 or less) in the distal half ; the front of the posterior legs, contrary 

 to the femora and tibiae, is of a brilliant black with metallic green, 

 violaceous or blue reflections, the top of the tibial dilatation 

 flavescent from the base to about the middle : anterior tarsi black 

 or blackish-bro\^n with the exception of a spot on the first joint, 

 the second joint entirely and the base of the third ; intermediate 

 and posterior legs more or less strongly dark, the femora with the 

 apical part (except the apex of the same above) and a submedian 

 or ' ponemedian ' annulatiou (posterior femora) flavescent, the 

 tibia with the base of a ' ponemedian ' annulation flavescent, the 

 apex of a deeper colour ; antennae brown, the first joint darkened

'• The body is fairly convex (moderate otherwise) above and 

 below; head shorter than the pronotum, a little convex at base, 

 central and lateral lobes almost of the same length, the lateral 

 lobes angularly rounded at apices, a little concave, lateral margins 



* Schoiitedeu also gives a lengthy structural diagnosis, of which our space 

 and method does not allow the reproduction.
