This species is allied to P. strwmosa, Fabr., from which 
it is easily separated by the basal half of the wings being 
fuscous. The markings of the pronotum and tegmina 
are also distinct, but I am unable to compare the 
opercula, as the four specimens which I possess are all 
females. 
Leptopsaltria pryeri, n. 8. 
3. Body above pale testaceous; head with the 
frontal margin pitchy ; the area of the ocelli black ; the 
posterior margin also narrowly black. Pronotum with a 
central longitudinal suleation, the edges of which are 
raised, commencing on anterior margin, but not extend- 
ing through more than half the pronotal length, on each 
side of which are two oblique and very distinct strie ; 
lateral and posterior margins ochraceous. Mesonotum 
with two obconical spots on anterior margin, the edges 
of which are black. Abdomen with a distinct transverse 
sulcation at the segmental sutures. Body beneath uni- 
colorous ; opercula pale inwardly, narrowly bordered with 
black ; four large dark castaneous tubercles placed in 
pairs near posterior margins of second and third abdo- 
minal segments. Tegmina and wings very pale trans- 
parent ochraceous ; tegmina with the transverse veins at 
the bases of second, third, and fifth apical areas infus- 
cated, and a submarginal series of pale fuscous spots 
situated near the apices of the longitudinal veins ; basal 
area pale ochraceous ; claval area pale testaceous ; wings 
pale testaceous at base. The face is large and tumid, 
with a somewhat faint longitudinal sulcation, but strongly 
transversely striated ; rostrum with the apex pitchy, and 
passing posterior coxe; opercula situated somewhat 
widely apart, the posterior margins oblique, with the 
lateral angles rounded, and reaching about centre of 
second abdominal segment; anterior femora with two
