92 Rev. H. S. Gorliam's materials for a 



Mr. G. Lewis has assured me that the female of one 

 species {Fooclioivensis) is apterous, and I have two females 

 sent me by Mr. A. Hudd, wdiich I believe belong to an Indian 

 species ; they are entirely yellowish brown, with the pro- 

 thorax similar in form to that of P. hicolor, F., but longer, 

 with reflexed anterior margin ; the meso-thoracic plate 

 above has a fine carina, indicating the scutellum ; the dorsal 

 abdominal plates are obsoletely channelled, not lobed nor 

 produced backwards at their angles ; ventral plates similar 

 in form to the dorsal, but with a pleural fold on which the 

 stigmata are conspicuous. 



Length, 13 — 15 lines. 



Fyrocalia is not congeneric with any of Motschulsky's 

 divisions, nor, with the exception of hicolor, has there, I 

 think, been any species described which I can refer to it.
