■2-)l 



short, radia furcate beyond cross-vein, two median sectors, basal 

 portion of first joining cubitus, four apical cubital veins, a large 

 stigmal spot at end of costal cell. First joint of hind tarsus about 

 twice as long as second and third together, tibial spur awl-shape with 

 one basal, one preapical and four apical spines. 



This genus is near to Ui/!/ot)S (and Bidis) but its longer antennae, 

 wider vertex and the distance between its median facial keels dis- 

 tinguishes it.

I take the pleasure of naming this species after mv friend

Ugyops Gner. 

 (1) U. lUurifrons (Walker.) 



Specimens from Amboina, Cerani and Larat show consider- 

 able variation in extent of markings on tegmina ; in some the 

 brown apical mark extends along clavus to base. The genitalia 

 in all these specimens are identical, the medio-ventral edge of 

 pygophor is drawn out into a rounded tongue, the lateral edges 

 curved ; anal segment about half the length of ventral surface of 

 pygophor, with a v-shaped excavation on its ventro-basal sur- 

 face; anal style lanceolate, long, narrow; styles slender, sulK-ylin- 

 drical, curved inwardly to near tips which are straight and meet 

 together. 



(2) V. amhoinens'is sp. nov. (59) 



Face with two approximate median keels joined together at apex. 

 Light yellow, vertex and sides of face, genae and apex of clypeus 

 spotted with brown, second joint of antenna with two brown bands, 

 a brown band on apex of front femora and three bands on front tibiae, 

 the bands on middle and hind legs much fainter, lateral edges and 

 keels of thorax darker, abdomen mottled with brown, especially along 

 medio-lateral line of dorsum. Tegmina hyaline, veins yellow with
