the head: opercula orange red: first pair of femora with two robust 
spines: tegmina and wings hyaline, immaculate, margin of the brown 
colour of the body beneath. Differs from OC. intermedia, Signoret, in 
having the tegmina and wings entirely transparent, the opercula smaller 
though of the same colour, and the femoral spines apparently, more 
robust. Body long, 50: exp. teg. 112 millims.

Differs from C. atrata, Fabr., in the absence of patches on the pro- 
notum and scutellum, whilst those on the head are larger: the brown 
basal patch on the tegmina is not so large and does not extend beyond 
the basal cell: opercula are altogether yellow and are larger, elongate, 
flattened, and with a rim: abdomen reddish yellow with a blackish band 
on each segment; sides brown. From Tenasserim (Walker) ; China 
(Signoret, B.S. H. F. (6 sé.) i, p. xli, 1881); Java (Sign.).

Entirely dull black ; the margin of the abdomen, especially of the 
last segment, testaceous : tegmina and wings whitish, black at the base, 
veins testaceous (Mabr.). This description is copied through all Fabri- 
cius’ works and the reason for Stal giving in his later writings prece- 
dence to Olivier’s name is not understood. 
Black, varied with reddish yellow ; tegmina and wings hyaline va- 
ried with brown : head with a reddish longitudinal patch in the middle 
of the frons, ending below near the eyes and another transverse patch ; 
pronotum with a patch on each side on the posterior margin, 2-4 on the 
scutellum, one at each angle: tegmina and wings witha broad opaque, 
basal, brownish patch occupying the basal cell of the tegmina, which are in 
the opaque portion veined yellowish, and also in a part of the transparent
