 marked with brownish black. Tegmina shining blackish brown, 

 posterior margin widely milky white- Abdominal tergites sinn- 

 ing blackish brown, except the white genital segment. Legs 

 black and w'hite, more or less mottled. 



The species varies considerably in color and pattern, how- 

 ever, like its congeners, independent of sex. The general color 

 mav l)e pale testaceous. al)dominal tergites pale yellowish 

 brijwn. no clear markings, or in the other direction, like the 

 type, but pronotum milk wliite and a milk white band across.

Dryadomorpha, gen. nov. 



Superlically some vhat like Ccphalius, but the ocelli are frontal 

 and the face is shaped differentl}- etc. X'ertex acutely produced 

 in front of the e}es, a little longer than wide at the base, slightly 

 concave, basal half sulcate longitudinally ; longitudinally finely 

 striate ; anterior margin of head acute. A sensory depression 

 close to each eye near the base. F.yes large, not forming part of 

 tlie curve of the head. ( )celli very small, immediately in front of 

 the acute margin of the head. nearl\ midway between eye and 

 apex of vertex. Face angularh- coiivex, diamond shaped, frons 

 elongate, subconstricted at the antennal articulations. Clypeus 

 fused wnth frons, widening out posteriorly, posterior margin 

 slightly notched in the middle, reaching beyond posterior margin 

 of genae. Lorae wider than the ch'peus anteriorly, not nearly 

 touching posterior margin of genae. Posterolateral margin of 

 face oblique, not angulate almost direct between eye and clypeus. 

 .\ntennae long, reaching at least beyond last sternite. Pronotum 

 finely striate transversely, anteriorly arched, lateral margins 

 evanescent. Scutellum a trifle wider than long. The venation 

 of tegmina and wings is so feeble that I have not been able to 

 interpret it; it seems to be Phrynomorphoid.
