 men glossy; legs pale reddish-yellow, claw-joints and 

 posterior tibiae tinged with brown ; antennae extending

OCYTASIA. 



Characteres ut in Merionoeda, sed abdomen normale. 



In the unique example before me on which I have 

 founded this genus, there is no trace of the peculiar 

 structure common, I believe, to both sexes of Merio- 

 noeda, but in other respects, with one exception, there is 

 no difference. The exception may be only of sexual or 

 perhaps of specific value; it is that the intermediate 

 tarsi are unusually broad, the basal joint being equi- 

 laterally triangular, with the two following transversely 

 dilated. The posterior femora are but moderately cla- 

 vate, and their tibige are straight as in Merionoeda suhu- 

 lata, and furnished with a tolerably long inner spur. It 

 is, probably, a female. 



Ocytasia fulvipennis. (PL XXI. fig. 6.) 



O. fulva; antennis, femoribusque (basi excepta), nigris. 

 Hab. — Kaioa. 



Fulvous-yellow; head rather short in front; eyes large 

 and prominent; prothorax rather glossy, strongly tuber- 

 culate ; scutellum very broad at the apex ; elytra rather 

 broadly subulate, contracted at the apex ; body beneath 

 yellowish, abdomen slender, somewhat conical, blackish ; 

 femora black, yellow at the base ; anterior tibiae and tarsi 

 yellow, intermediate tibiee clouded with brown, their 

 tarsi yellow, posterior tibiae and tarsi, the base of the 

 former excepted, black ; antennae black.
