tical. Both of them come near Erohlatta borneensis Shelford, 

 the diirereiices between Erohlatta Shelf, and Protagonista 

 Shelf, being oul}- slight. P. fiisca cf and P. pcrtristis 9 agree 

 in having the abdomen below entirely black, and the proximal 

 three-fourths of the hind femora black, the distal one-fourth 

 testaceous. In Erohlatta borneensis cT the basal segments 

 of the abdomen are testaceous, the terminal ones black ; and 

 the greater part of the hind femora is testaceous, and only 

 the distal one-fourth black. 



The figure is drawn in the Hymenopteron-like attitude, with 

 tegmina and wings sightly opened, which the insect generahy 

 seems to adopt.
