 Section 5, — Coeixina. 



Genus 1. — Coeixa, Geoff. 



Species 17*. — Coeixa Scotti, Fieb. (in litt.) 



Head above finely rastrafce, black, with fine yellow markings. Crown piceous ; face 

 ochreous, the facial depression in the <J slight, with thickened edges anteriorly, 

 and a row of punctures at the side, continued up to the base of the crown. 



Thorax — Pronotum short, piceous, with five yellow lines. Clavus with the first four 

 or five lines straight, entire, the rest mostly sinaate, and all more or less 

 shortened inwardly, sometimes quite obsolete ; the inner margin distinctly, the 

 outer indistinctly, yellow. Corium, marginal channel blackish, the lines on the 

 disc apparent only on the outer and inner margins as spots, down the middle 

 short twisted lines, sometimes connected at their ends, forming a distinct 

 hieroglyphic series ; apex outwardly, and the membrane-sntural line, yellowish. 

 Membrane black, the inner margin whitish, and at some distance from the 

 margin, round to the apex of the corium, a row of short whitish hues, spreading 

 out here and there into hieroglyphic characters. Sternum wholly palo yellow. 



Abdomen ochreous, first three segments (except the margins) and the genital 

 segments black. Legs ochreous : palce of the c? round-cultrate ; middle tibice 

 brownish, cilia of posterior tarsi black. Length 2 — 2i lines. 



Taken in the small loch near Kirn, Argyleshire, in May, 1866 

 (Scott), and again at the Bame place in September of the same year, in 

 plenty (Douglas and Scott). 



This species, which approaches G. fossarum, could not be made to 

 agree with any published description ; but, to be absolutely certain it 

 was new, specimens were sent to Dr. Fieber, who says it is undescribed, 

 and names it O. Scotti.
