216 Mr. J. L. Hancock’s Studies of the 
distinct from ¢ectiformus, and two in my collection from 
Hantane, Ceylon, bear the label “‘D. cristatus, sp. nov.,” 
awaiting study of a larger series to settle the matter. 
Genus Portus, Bolivar.

Genus EPITETTIX, nov. 
Stature small, body somewhat smooth but densely punctate. 
Vertex broad, little narrowed forward, much wider than one of the 
eyes, anteriorly not at all transversely carinate but on each side 
with a very small, though distinct elongate longitudinal carina, front 
margin convex, with an abbreviated somewhat thickened and pro- 
duced median carina ; face oblique ; superior ocelli placed between 
the lower third of the eyes; the face together with the crown 
of head forming an obtuse angulate profile, frontal scutellum not 
divided above the posterior ocelli, triangular, and the margins but 
little elevated, not produced in profile ; antennz inserted little 
forward and below the ventro-anterior margins of the eyes, the dis- 
tance between them much wider than that to the eyes. Pronotum 
anteriorly truncate, posteriorly cuneate, with subacute apex, not 
extended backward to the apices of the posterior femora ; median 
carina percurrent, distinct, and substraight, dorsum subtectiform, 
punctate, prozonal carinee behind the anterior border somewhat 
indistinct; humeral angles almost wanting; lateral lobes little 
reflexed outwards, the posterior angles obliquely truncate behind. 
Elytra and wings wanting ; margins of anterior and middle femora 
entire, posterior femora little incrassate and of ordinary form, the 
margins of posterior tibie plurispinose, and minutely serrulate, the 
first articles of the posterior tarsi strongly larger than the third, the 
three pulvilli about equal in length. Resembling Diotarus, Stal.* 
Type, Epitettix punctatus. 
1. HL. punctatus, sp. nov. (Plate XXI, fig. 1.) 
Fuscous, with the posterior half of dorsum and upper distal half 
of hind femora flavo-ferruginous, the anterior and middle tibiae 
* This genus may be assigned to my Subsection II, under. 
Cladonotx, and next to Diotarus, Stal, as given in my key in Genera 
Insectorum. Vide p. 9, 10, 48me Fasc. Orthop. Subfam. T'etrigine,
