212 E. T. Atkinson—WNotes on Indian Rhynchota. [No. 3, 
An examination of some fifty males shows some variations in indi- 
viduals, even amongst those collected in the same locality. In the hya- 
line apical portion of the tegmina, the brown band is sometimes connec 
ted with the marginal row of spots, sometimes with the brown band 
across the middle part of the tegmina, and sometimes with neither. The 
hyaline spots in the radial and 3—4 ulnar areas vary much in size, and 
the metathoracic markings vary in size and distinctness. The venation, 
too, is not altogether uniform, and the colour of the thorax varies from 
green to brown. 
?. Body sordidly luteous above and below. Face moderately con- 
vex, transversely sulcated, with a longitudinal groove, luteous, vertex 
and pronotum furrowed, luteous. The mesonotal marks are represented 
by two almost obsolete short black lines on fore border and two faint 
black dots on hinder border. Abdomen black above, first three segments 
marginally luteous-pubescent ; below, central portion tawny, thickly 
pubescent. Opercula small, somewhat rounded, wide apart. Legs con- 
colorous with body: posterior tibiee spinose, tarsi and claws piceous. 
Tegmina, markings as in ¢, but basal half suffused with deep fulvous. 
Wings as in @, but apical third alone brown, limbus hyaline, flaps 
fulvous. Length body, 223; exp. tegm. 75; of one tegmen 34; breadth 
of pronotum 13 millims. 
Has. Sikkim, one specimen only in the Indian Museum. 
4, PLATYPLEURA ASSAMENSIS, 0. sp. 
Sordid green, face very slightly convex, transversely sulcated, with 
a longitudinal groove: a fascia extending from eye to eye through the 
base of the antenne, black. Rostrum extends to third abdominal seg- 
ment, tip piceous. Markings above as in P. phalenoides, Walker. Ab- 
domen piceous, each abdominal segment with a shght marginal fulvous 
pubescence. Opercula very small, wide apart piceous in the g ; close 
together, piceous and margined with slight tawny in the ¢. Basal 
half of tegmina, brown, with irregular pale markings: a hyaline spot m 
the third quarter of the radial area, a pale spot at the base of the radial 
area and the 4—5 ulnar areas. Apical half of the tegmina pale hyaline ; 
a brown patch extending through the apical anastomoses of the 1—3 
ulnar areas: an inner apical row of six brown spots, first two and last 
broadest, first two confluent, middle sagittate, last confluent with the dot 
on the limbus: apical veins ending in six small oblong brown spots, 
beyond which in the limbus are six minute dots. Wings marked as in 
P. phalenoides with which it is closely allied, but the body is much less 
robust, and smaller; and there is a difference in the markings and colour 
of the tegmina. Length body, 235; exp. tegm., 69; of single tegmen, 
30; breadth of the pronotum 12, millims.
