fascia on each side of body, and the anterior legs piceous, inter- 

 mediate and posterior legs more 

 or less mottled ^^"itl^ piceous, 

 anterior femora beneath and ante- 

 rior tibiie on eacli side (outwardly 

 more than inwardly) roundly 

 foliaceously ampliated. 



2 . A little larger than male, 

 unicolorous, irrorated with fus- 

 cous ; face about one - fourth 

 longer than greatest breadth ; 

 anterior femora beneath and 

 anterior tibia? on each side mode- 

 rately dilated, less so than in 

 male. 



Length, J 3^, § 4 millim. 



Hab. Ceylon (Stocl-holm 3Jus.). 



1 am indebted to Dr. Auri- 

 villius, of Stockholm, for the opportunity of figuring this species.

Genus AUGILA. 

 Augila, Stdl, Ofv. Vet.-Ak. FiJrh. 1870, p. 754. 



Type, A. sulciceps, Stal, from the Philippines. 



Distribution. Oriental and Malayan Regions. 



Body elongate, subcompressed, abdomen slender; head (including 

 eyes) a little naiTower than pronotuui, compressed and porrectly 

 produced in front of eyes, its apex moderately rounded, and from 

 it issues a slender filamentous appendage *, above longitudinally 

 concave ; face with the lateral margins strongly broadly ridged ; 

 eyes elongate ; pronotum truncate at base, anteriorly produced 

 between eyes, obtusely tricarinate ; mesonotum nearly twice as 

 long as pronotum, bicarinate ; tegmina elongate, narrow, apex 

 obliquely rounded, anterior and posterior margins parallel, radial 

 and upper longitudinal veins united near base, the former shortly 

 furcate at apex, apical area reticulately veined ; wings a little 

 wider than tegmina, with a few transverse veins on apical area ; 

 antei'ior legs elongated, the femora and tibiae foliaceously dilated ; 

 posterior tibiae with a single spine placed beyond middle, 



I have followed Stal in placing this strange genus in the Issince ; 

 there appear to be a number of interesting characters that can 

 only be studied and described when material can be spared for 

 dissection. 



'^ This structural character is neilher figured nor described by StSl, and 

 was probably mutilated wlien he acquired his Pliilippine type of the genus.
