Head, pronotuui, aud mesonotum greeuish-olivaceoas ; meta- 

 notum, sternum, and legs purplish-red; abdomen fuscous or 

 brownish-ochraceous, \\\ fresh specimens studded above with small 

 tufts of, and the apex broadly clothed with, white waxy efflo- 

 resceuce ; posterior tibise and tarsi black or fuscous ; transverse 

 fasciae to abdomen beneath black ; tegmina olivaceous-green, with 

 small scattered spots and oblique transverse discal fasciae 

 llavescent, the apical marginal area with a double series of small 

 shining black spots and a larger spot near apex of posterior 

 margin ; va ings creamy-white, with two obliquely transverse black 

 fasciae on apical area. 



Length excl. tegm. to 9 ; exp. tegm. 18 to 25 millim.

This is a most variable — both in size and coloui* — species to 

 identify. Typical aud fresh forms are as above described, and as 

 correctly described but inefficiently figured by Melichar (supra), 

 whose artist has made the fascia? of the tegmina to appear as 

 black ; in some specimens these fasciae are testaceous, in others 

 macular and much broken. In faded specimens the tegmina are 

 ochraceous, with the fascia? only a little paler and subobsolete. I 

 .am satisfied that iomentosa, Fabr., bimacuiata, Fabr., and fraterna, 

 Stal, are conspecific ; whether there may not be another closely 

 allied species among the other small forms 1 include is at least 

 possible, though I think improbable. There appears to be a variety 

 with the less concolorous. 



C. Wini/s infascated or fuscoxis, their apical areas tvith a 

 transverse ivliite fascia.

Head and pronotum dull stramineous or ochraceous ; mesonotum 

 testaceous or fuscous-testaceous ; abdomen above, sternum, aud 

 legs testaceous, or in faded specimens ochraceous ; abdomen 

 beneath and posterior tibiae and tarsi black, the first with the 

 lateral and narrow segmental margins ochraceous ; rostrum 

 piceous ; tegmina pale tawny-brown, sometimes a little darkly 

 speckled on basal half, apical area with two ])rominent black 

 spots — one on anterior, the other on posterior margin (the 

 uppermost sometimes absent) — and a series of minute black spots
