under the generic name of DercEocoris in my former 

 paper. No locality is given with the insect in my 

 possession. 



Family Tingidid^. 

 Genus Leptodictya, Stal / 



Leptodictya Leicisi. 



Pale ashy-grey. Antennce pale yellowish grey, apex of 

 the terminal joint blackish. Eyes bright red. Pronntum 

 side margins overlapped and produced into large bladder- 

 like processes covered with meshes ; hood somewhat 

 large, covered with meshes. Eli/tra gradually widening 

 to the middle of the marginal nerve, from thence to 

 before the apex concave, apex rounded ; marginal nerve 

 reflexed with three rows of meshes, the two inner rows 

 small and somewhat uniform in size, the outer one large 

 and irregular, except at the fuscous-black middle, where 

 there are three smaller ones somewhat square in shape 

 and about equal to each other in size ; alternate meshes 

 V- or U-shaped; marginal nerve with three fuscous-black 

 spots before and four beyond the middle. Membrane 

 meshes becoming larger as they aj^proach the apex. 

 Head pale yellowish white, spines pale yellowish white. 

 Antennce pale yellowish grey, apex of the terminal joint 

 black. Eyes bright red. Thorax. — Pronotmn ashy-grey, 

 side margins overlapped and produced into large bladder- 

 like smoke-coloured processes covered with meshes, the 

 latter largest on the summit, and of an irregular 

 pentagonal form ; hood somewhat large, covered with 

 meshes. Elytra ashy-grey, gradually widening from the 

 base to the middle of the marginal nerve, from thence 

 narrowing and concave to before the aj^ex, which is 

 rounded ; marginal field reflexed, with three rows of 

 meshes, the two inner rows small and somewhat uniform 

 in size, the outer one large and irregular, except at the 

 middle, where there are three smaller meshes somewhat 

 square in shape and about equal to each other in size ; 

 middle with a fuscous-black patch, alternate meshes 

 V- or U-shaped; marginal nerve with three black spots 

 before, and four beyond, the middle ; apex rounded, 

 bordered with black ; cells acute at the base and apex, 

 meshes somewhat regular, increasing in number trans- 

 versely until they reach the middle, where there are four 

 in a row. Membrane meshes gradually enlarging towards 

 the apex ; inner marginal row largest, square-shaped,
