able not only for the distinctness of the veins at the base of the 

 tegmina but for their forkings and anastomosings, thus con- 

 necting the last described tribe with the typical Eupteryginae. 



Head sub-foliaceous, produced in front of the eyes, roundly 

 arched. Ocelli probably functionless, but vestiges large, dor- 

 sal, close to the anterior margin, nearer to one another than to 

 the eyes. Apex of first segment of antennae reaching to la- 

 teral margin of head. Vertex long and narrow. Tegmina 

 without an appendix. The radial vein seems to lose itself in the 

 costal ; the median and cubital have a short common stem and 

 unite again in a short stem just basal of the apical cells. There 

 is a discoidal cell. The median and cubital are the most distinct 

 of the veins. (PI. XXII, fig. 12, and PL XXXI, f^gs. 2 and 3). 



I. pulchcrrima sp, nov. 



Vertex and pronotum bright orange yellow, the former ting- 

 ed with pink, and with a broadish longitudinal pallid stripe, an- 

 terior (dorsal) margin also more or less pallid narrowly. Prono- 

 tum with a narrow longitudinal stripe, a dot on each side 01 

 this anteriorly, and a <". and ? laterally about the mid- 

 dle, nallid. Posterior margin very narrowly pallid. Scutellum 

 reddish, posterior lobe blackish with two white spots. Basal 

 two-thirds (or more) of tegmina rich crimson, darker on the 

 clavus exteriorly; wedge on the clavus and the part of the 

 corium between the cubital and median veins hvaline and some- 

 what infumate; 2 short wavy whitish lines on clavus and 2 white 

 marks on corium, one (with a black spot at its apex) close to apex 

 of clavus, the other at apex of area between median and cubital 

 veins. Apical third of teemina hyaline, more or less tineed 

 with yellowish. Wings milkwhite, veins pale yellow. Under- 

 side pale testaceous or yellowish ; frons more or less tinged with 

 orange ; basal sternites of abdomen more or less blackish. 



Vertex between the eyes two-fifths wider than medianly long, 

 base roundly emarginate. Pronotum transverse, subquadran- 

 eular, same length as head, posterior margin almost straight. 

 Scutellum as wide as vertex between eyes and as long as pro- 

 notum, acuminately produced posteriorly, transversely sulcate 

 near the posterior angle. 



Female: Sheath at least 7 times as long as the ultimate ab- 

 dominal sternite (which is sinuately excavate), with short white 

 bristly hairs. 



Length 3-3I mill.
