232 Mr. J. L. Hancock’s Studies of the 
eyes; the frontal costa rather widely sulcate, evenly divergent 
forward to the median ocellus, little compresso-elevated between the 
antenne. Pronotum granulate, posteriorly lengthily subulate, 
extended beyond the hind femoral apices ; dorsum little ascendant 
near the anterior margin, between the shoulders elevated, compresso- 
cristate, the top of crest subdentate, before and behind the crest the 
median carina often little compresso-dentate ; median carina low 
forward just behind the anterior margin and posteriorly on the 
process ; humeral angles widely obtuse, the lateral carine# continuous 
forward on the shoulders ; the anterior prozonal carine parallel ; 
posterior angles of the lateral lobes subangulate, slightly reflexed, 
subrounded-truncate. Elytra elongate, apices narrowly rounded, 
externally punctate, fuscous with light apices ; wings fully explicate, 
barely extended beyond the pronotal apex; anterior and middle 
femora elongate, the carinew distinctly compressed, undulate, the 
superior carine of the middle femora produced in an apical spine ; 
posterior femora elongate, genicular spine acute, little produced ; the 
three pulvilli of the first tarsal articles equal in length. Length of 
the body entire, female, 16°2 mm.; pronotum 15 mm,; posterior 
femora 5‘9 mm. 
One example from Putlam, Ceylon, in the Oxford 
Museum. 
This species is nearly allied to Yystra corniculata, Stal.

Similar to cornutus, but of smaller stature, the male and female 
measuring as follows: entire length 16-165 mm.; pronotum 
14-154 mm.; posterior femora 6-7 mm. In the male the wings 
extend beyond the pronotal apex, and in this sex the pronotum 
between the elevated humeral angles is transversely convex and 
little tumose ; the median carina here being low, but in the female 
little compressed, otherwise similar to cornutus. 
Two examples from the same locality as the preceding.
