new species of Membracide. 423 
Oblong, subparallel, with the ocelli evidently further removed 
from one another than from eyes, which are prominent ; pronotum 
with the shoulders, which are set far back, obtusely prominent, 
behind these gradually narrow, with a gentle sinuation and con- 
tinued into a long process, which is strongly and broadly impressed 
at margins from shoulders to apex, and if viewed from the side is 
gradually deflexed and evidently carinate, the carina being con- 
tinued to the frontal margin of the metopidium ; tegmina slightly 
exceeding the apex of prothoracic process, with five apical and three 
discoidal areas, the areas being for the most part subequal and 
oblong ; wings with four apical areas ; legs rather slender. 
This genus appears to be allied to Darnoides as re- 
presented by its type Darnoides limbata, but may be 
easily known by the position of the ocelli, the more 
prominent eyes, and the fact that the tegmina have three 
discoidal areas; the form, moreover, is more subparallel 
and less narrowed behind, and the shape and sculpture 
of the prothorax behind shoulders is very different. 
Paradarnoides severini, sp. n. 
Major, capite fusco, rugoso, pubescenti, metopidio rugosé punc- 
tato, fusco-testaceo, maculis duabus fuscis antice convergentibus, 
interdum fere deficientibus, pronoto pone humeros fortius punctato 
vitt’ lata fused, deinde dilute testaceo, apice longo fusco ; tegmini- 
bus fusco-hyalinis, ad basim punctatis, venis testaceis ; corpore 
subtus fusco pubescenti; pedibus testaceis plus minusve infuscatis. 
Head rugose, pubescent, fuscous, pronotum testaceous in front, 
then broadly fuscous behind shoulders, and then light testaceous, 
the apex being fuscous or reddish fuscous; on the metopidium 
there js a broad fuscous patch on each side of the central carina 
(which is testaceous) ; these however are sometimes confused or 
almost wanting ; punctuation of prothorax rugose, strongest be- 
hind shoulders ; tegmina fusco-hyaline, with the base more or less 
broadly fuscous and punctured, veins testaceous, underside fuscous, 
strongly pubescent in front; legs testaceous with the femora and 
tibiz more or less infuscate. Long. cum tegm., 9 mm. ; lat. int. 
hum., 3} mm. 
Hab. Guadaloupe (Delauney), (Belgian Museum Collec- 
tion); three female specimens. 
There is a larva of this species in the Belgian Museum 
Collection ; it is onisciform, broad and subparallel, but 
rather wider behind, with the front parts uneven, and the
