Tur following undescribed forms have come into my 
possession since I communicated my last paper to the 
Society on the Rhynchotal fauna of this Island (Trans. 
Ent. Soc., 1879, p. 209), and I was again impressed, as 
when working the previous collection, with the some- 
what aberrant structural peculiarities of these insects. 
The two new genera here described are very distinct and 
remarkable in structure compared with the other genera 
of the subfamilies to which they belong, whilst species 
belonging to African genera form usually distinct sections 
of those genera. 
HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
PENTATOMIDA. 
PENTATOMIN. 
Dalpada subjlava, N. 8. 
Luteous, irregularly covered with greenish punctures. 
Head somewhat thickly punctate, with the lateral lobes 
a little longer than the central. Antenne luteous, with 
the second, third, and fourth joints subequal, basal, apex 
of third and fourth (excepting base) joints greenish, 
fifth mutilated. Pronotum with a strong transverse 
impression a little before medium, the lateral angles 
acutely subprominent, the lateral margins sinuated about 
medium, from whence to apical angles they are obtusely 
crenulated. Scutellum and corium with a number of 
irregular luteous levigate markings, inconstant in 
character and varying in different specimens. Mem- 
brane pale hyaline, with the nervures pitchy. Con- 
nexivum luteous, with a dark greenish patch on base 
and apex of each segmental incisure. Underside of body 
and legs pale luteous; prosternum and mesosternum 
with a few greenish markings; apices of femora, bases
