LIBURNIA STRAMINEA. 63 



Macropterous male. Upper side uniformly warm 

 sienna-yellow. Vertex yellow and slightly produced, 

 with two brown spots on the crown. Frons brown, 

 with yellow keels, the central carina forked just before 

 the vertex. Pronotum short, pale yellow, with the 

 lower margin arcuate. Scutellum reddish, one and a 

 half times longer than the pronotum, with the keels 

 and lower sinuous edge well marked. Abdomen brown, 

 with pale lateral edges and somatic margins. Elytra 

 hyaline, one-half longer than the abdomen. Venation 

 fine and brownish. Membrane yellow, clouded with 

 brown at the apices, and dashed with fuscous-yellow at 

 their bases. Small tegulse occur at the elytral inser- 

 tions. Wings delicate and pale grey. Legs and 

 antennae clay-yellow. Kuees and tibiae with dots and 

 longitudinal brown stripes. Hind femora brown. 

 Under side umber-brown, and variegated with darker 

 brown blotches. Pygofer obtuse, with sinuous edges. 

 Styles lanceolate, with tips obliquely truncate. 



The Brachelytrous female nearly resembles that of 

 the next species described. Fieber describes the male 

 as having pale nervures, finely spotted with yellow ; 

 tarsal joints black. Pygofer oval, or shaped like a 

 lozenge with round sides. Styles dilated at their 

 bases, recurved, and truncate at their ends. Their 

 forms are very similar to those figured for L. peUucida 

 in my Plate XIV., fig. 7. 



N.B. — The neuration in my figure is printed too 

 coarsely for accuracy, and the colour is too heavy.
