sometimes slightly expanded above, and sometimes indistinctly 

 visible as a mere shading along the lower lateral border of the 

 pronotum. Hinder pink border of the pronotum throwing up a 

 short oblique branch at its lower extremity, not extending beyond 

 the hinder sulcus. Hind lobe of the pronotum more coarsely punc- 

 tured than the rest ; prosternal tubercle moderately stout, long, 

 conical, pointed, recurved, and touching the front of the pronotum in 

 the female ; in the male it is somewhat shorter, and less curved. 

 Tegmina subhyaline-greenish, with greenish or whitish nervures, the 

 longitudinal nervures, and the densely reticulated upper basal third 

 of the anal area, inclining to reddish. Wings greenish-hyaline, with 

 pale yellow longitudinal nervures ; legs green ; hind femora with a 

 dark red line on the basal half of the outer carina ; terminal lobe of 

 the femora green, surrounded with black both within and without, 

 except below ; tibiaj green, black at the intersection with the femora, 

 and generally witli a pink ring half-way between the knee and the 

 first spines, which are pale yellow, tipped M'ith red, and which 

 number six to eight on the outer carina, and eight on the inner carina. 

 Tarsi sometimes red. 



This insect may be a pale form of C. lyrasina, Walk., 

 from which 0. cmricornis is scarcely distinct, but C.iirasina 

 has much heavier blackish markings on the pronotum, 

 scarcely marked witli red ; the tegmina, except along the 

 anal border, are thickly and uniformly reticulated with 

 reddish, and the hind tibiae and tarsi are entirely red, 

 except the extreme base of the tibiae, which is green, like the 

 femora. 



It is also probably allied to C. deckcni, Gerstaecker, which 

 appears to be quite distinct from any species I have yet 

 seen.
