FROM THE EAST INDIES. 35 
Genus.—CYRENE, Westw. 
Corpus breve crassum abdomine compresso. Caput fronte conico longo, porrecto, apice acuto, 
supra ad latera carinatum, carinis ante apicem obliteratis, postice ad prothoracem extensis. 
Oculi magni laterales subtus emarginati (fig. 3a,3). Ocelli nulli. Antenne parvee 
sub oculos insert. Promuscis mutilata. Prothorax mesothoracis longitudine, disco 
punctis duobus in medio impressus. Hemelytra coriacea opaca homogenea convexa lata, 
margine antico sinuato apice rotundato, angulo postico acuto; venis parum ramosis. Pedes 
breves robusti, tibiis posticis curvatis, intus versus apicem 3-spinosis (fig. 3 e). Abdomen 
apice truncato in lobos duos terminatum, appendiculo tenui erecto apice concavo instruc- 
tum. (Fig. 3d.) 
The entire surface of the hemelytra of this new Fulgorideous 
genus is covered with an immense number of minute circular 
elevated areas, visible only under a lens. I have observed nothing 
similar in any other Fulgorideous insect. When at rest, the wings 
are carried almost perpendicularly, as in fig. 3 a. 
Species unica. —CYRENE GUTTULATA, Westw. (Plate 57, fig. 3 & 3a.) 
Fusco-brunnea, proboscide picea, abdomine rufescenti, hemelytris guttulis nonnullis minutis 
albidis alterisque duobus (in singulo) nigris, alis posticis fuscis. Long. corp. lin. 7. 
Expans. alar. lin. 14. 
Habitat in Insula Sumatra. D. Raffles. In Mus. Soc. Zool. Lond. 
LYSTRA TRICOLOR. (Plate 57, fig. 4.) 
Sanguinea glaberrima, prothoracis lobo antico mesothoraceque antice nigris, hemelytroram 
dimidio basali (basi ipso livido excepto) stramineo nigro maculato; apicali brunneo, 
macula costali straminea ; posticis rubris dimidio apicali fusco, pedibus castaneo-sanguineis. 
Long. corp. lin. 8. Expans. alar. unc. 24. 
Habitat in Assam. 
I am likewise indebted to Mr. Robinson for specimens of this 
beautiful addition to the Fulgoridz, from a country which appears 
to be extremely rich in the species of that family, judging from the 
splendid insects described and figured by the Rev. F. W. Hope in 
the new Part of the Transactions of the Linnzean Society. 
The present species has the face (fig. 4a) convex and very 
glossy, nearly square, with the sides rather deeply impressed ; the 
eyes are rather slightly emarginate beneath, leaving a small space 
in which the ocelli are placed. The dise of the head is excavated 
and marked with two ocelli-like tubercles placed wide apart. The 
four fore-tibie are slightly compressed, but are without any 
tendency to foliation. 
The plant represented in the plate is Roscoea purpurea, from 
Upper Nepaul. (Smith, Exot. Bot.)
