210 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



basal joint of antennae as long as anterior femora; scutellar spine 

 longer and more recurved. 



Long, 17 mm. 



Habitat. — Luang Prabang; Ban Samang ; Haut Mekong; Vieng 

 Vai. 



Phyja, gen. nov. 



Body elongate ; bead narrow, long, about as long as two-tbirds of 

 tbe pronotum ; antennae with tbe first joint subequal in lengtb to 

 that of liead, but unarmed by spine or tubercle at base; ante-ocular 

 area longer than post-ocular, between tbe eyes longitudinally and 

 broadly excavate ; pronotum witli the anterior lobe considerably 

 shorter than posterior lobe and subglobose, the anterior angles 

 tuberculosely prominent, discally, centrally, longitudinally incised, 

 lateral angles of posterior lobe subspinose ; scutellum with a some- 

 wliat long, slender, apical spine ; rostriim robust, first joint much 

 shorter than second ; legs long and somewhat slender, femora and 

 tibiae almost of equal length ; prosternum centrally, longitudinally 

 incised ; abdomen with a central narrow longitudinal ridge, on eacb 

 side of which the lateral areas are oblique to outer margins. 



This genus has somewhat tbe superficial appearance of 

 Cydnocoris, Stal, but differs from all the genera I have placed in 

 my Div. Euagorasaria'^ by the absence of the spine or tubercle 

 behind the antennal bases. 



Phyja tricolor, sp. n. 



Sanguineous; rostrum, excluding basal joint, meso- and meta- 

 sterna, excluding anterior and lateral margins, legs, posterior half of 

 membrane, antennae and eyes, black ; tegmina with inner and outer 

 claval fasciae attached to about basal half of membrane, and narrow 

 iTiembranal margins pale ochraceous ; structural characters as in 

 generic diagnosis, this species formiiig tbe type. 



Long, 22-26 nnu. 



Habitat. — Tonkin ; Chapa. 



Epidans conncctens, sp. n. 



Head and first joint of antennae pale castaneous, extreme apex 

 of tbe latter black (remainder mutilated), eyes black ; anterior lobe 

 of pronotum purplish-black, posterior lobe ochraceous, basal spines, 

 both lateral and discal, black ; scutellum and corium ochraceous, apex 

 of the first black ; membrane bronzy-grey ; connexivum, above and 

 beneath, ochraceous, with large quadrate sanguineous spots ; abdomen 

 beneath black, its base and sternum paler in hue ; legs reddish- 

 ochraceous ; coxae black or blackish ; anterior pronotal lobe obsoletely 

 tuberculate, the anterior lateral angles prominent, posterior lobe with 

 the lateral angles strongly straigbtly produced and shortly bispinous 

 near base, the two discal spines strongly erect ; connexivum obtusely, 

 shortly, angularly prominent at the segmental angles. 



Long, 24 mm. 



Habitat. — ^Laos ; Luang Prabang. 



Allied to E. latispinus, Stal.
