HEMEPTERA HETWROPTERA. 433 
93. EDESSA GLOBULIFERA. 
Prasina, subtus testacea; caput transverse striatum, testaceo pallido 
varium; antenne rufe; thorax aspere punctatus, untice testaceus, 
cornubus cylindricis subarcuatis antice subflexis apice nigris et sub- 
globosis latitudine basali plus duplo longioribus ; ventris latera 
viridia ; pedes testacet, tibiis tarsisque rufis, femoribus anterioribus 
supra piceis ; ale antice rufa, venis lestacets ramosis. 
Grass-green, testaceous beneath. Head mostly pale testaceous, trans- 
versely striated on each side. Eyes piceous. Rostrum ferruginous. An- 
tenn red; second joint as long as the third. Thorax thinly and roughly 
punctured, mostly pale testaceous in front, transversely striated on each 
side; horns cylindrical, slightly curved and inclined forward, slightly 
notched on the hind side, more than twice longer than their breadth at the 
base, black towards the tips, which are slightly globose. Scutellum 
attenuated, acute, punctured like the thorax. Abdomen green on each side 
beneath; hind angles of the segments successively more elongated and 
acute; those of the apical segment not dentate. Legs testaceous; tibiz 
and tarsi red; anterior femora piceous above. Fore wings red, thickly and 
minutely punctured, with testaceous ramose veins; membrane eueous- 
brown. Length of the body {1 lines. 
The character which distinguishes E. antica from E£. cervus will also 
distinguish this species, and it may be distinguished from EH. antica by its 
thoracic horns, which are more slender towards their tips.

94, EDESSA DUCTOR. 
Prasina, subtus testacea ; caput pallide testaceum ; antenne rufe ; thorax 
subtiliter punctatus, antice testaceus, cornubus nigris aculis basi 
pallidis latitudine basali duplo longioribus ; scutellum testaceo plagi- 
atum ; abdomen apice spinosum ; pedes lutet. 
Grass-green, testaceous beneath. Head pale testaceous, nearly smooth. 
Eyes pale brown. Antenne red; second joint as long as the third; fourth 
about twice the length of the third. Thorax and scutellum thickly and 
minutely punctured. Thorax mostly pale testaceous and smooth in front, 
transversely striated along each side; horns acute, directly diverging, black 
except towards their base, twice longer than their breadth at the base. 
Scutellum attenuated, acute, with some testaceous patches. Pectus and 
under side of the abdomen with transverse green lines, which are mostly on 
the sutures. Hind borders of the abdominal segments successively more 
elongated and acute, those of the apical segment forming spines. Legs 
luteous. Fore wings more minutely punctured than the thorax; membrane 
eneous-brown. Length of the body 10} lines. 
The shorter and more slender horns of the thorax distinguish it from 
E, longispina, and the apical spives of the abdomen are stouter.
