tegmina extending far beyond apex of abdomen, the majority of 

 tbe veins somewliat closely grannlate ; legs simple, posterior tibiae

This genus is now a puzzle, for Kirkaldy, who described it as one 

 of the Delpha cilice, states that it is synonymons with Eadelpliax 

 described and placed by Meiichar in the Civlince. I have been 

 unable to see an example *.

* Mr. Green informs me that he has no specimen in his collection under 

 the name of Eodelphax sercndlha, and the type is therefore probably in the 

 possession of Mr. Kirkaldy, who is abroad and his collection not available foi- 

 comparison or examination.
