444 Mr. John Scott on two new species of 



paralleli, latitiidine basali paulo altiores ; stili breves, 

 laminam versus incurvati, ad apicem . teretiusculi, basi 

 altitudini suae fere sequales. 



^ . Dark brown or pitchy brown. Head brownish 

 yellow. Face lobes very short, broadly rounded. An- 

 tennae short, yellowish ; 3rd joint longer than the 4th ;• 

 6th to 10th joints fuscous. Pro- and mesonotum convex, 

 the former brownish yellow, the latter dark brown or 

 •pitchy brown ; central portion frequently with a brownish 

 yellow line down the middle ; posterior or scutellar por- 

 tion brownish yellow. Elytra clear, transparent, short ; 

 length about equal to twice the breadth ; stigma about 

 equal in lengtli to the costal l)asal cell measured through 

 the centre ; radius almost straight ; furcation of the 

 upper arm of the cubitus small, of the lower arm large ; 

 distance between the apex of the stigma and radius about 

 equal to that between the latter and the adjoining branch 

 of the furcation, when measured on the marginal nerve ; 

 distance between the apices of the branches of the lower 

 arm about equal to either of the former when measured 

 similarly. Legs yellow, with a slight fuscous shade. 

 Abdomen black ; genitalia black ; genital plate margins, 

 viewed from the side, almost parallel ; height a little 

 more than the width at the base ; processes short, curved 

 towards the genital plate, slightly tapering towards the 

 apex ; base about equal to the height. 



Head : crown brownish yellow, posteriorly towards the 

 eyes dark brown. Face brownish yellow ; length down the 

 centre a little more than one-half the breadth between the 

 eyes ; face lobes brownish yellow, very short, broadly 

 rounded. Antennae short, yellowish, 6 — 10 joints fuscous, 

 9 — 10 darkest, slightly clavate. Thorax : pronotum convex,, 

 brownish yellow; mesonotum, anterior portion (dorsulum) 

 brownish yellow, darkest anteriorly ; central portion dark 

 brown or pitchy brown, with a broadish brownish, yellow 

 line down the middle ; posterior or scutellar portion 

 brownish yellow ; sides narrowly dark brown or pitchy 

 brown. Elytra short, clear, transparent, or sometimes 

 with a faint fuscous cloud next the apex; length about 

 equal to twice the breadth ; greatest breadth near the 

 apex of the stigma; dorsal margin convex from the 

 apex of the clavus ; stigma generally dark brown, about 

 equal in length to the costal basal cell measured through 

 the centre ; radius joining the marginal nerve about in a 

 line with the inner brancli of the furcation of the upper
