I. aristarche, sp. nov. 

 PI. II, figs. 9-IO. 



Probably allied to D. robiista O. & B.., but the head is longer 

 and more angulate, and the tegniinal reticulation coarser. 



Male : vertex whitish-testaceous, heavily barred with piceous 

 frons whitish-testaceous, with curved concentric lines, which aro 

 much broader than the interstitial paleness ; genae, clypeus and lora 

 whitish-testaceous with a large dark fuscous spot on each. An- 

 terior half of pronotum dark fuscous with a few tiny testaceous 

 markings, posterior half whitish. Tegmina fuscous, veins mar- 

 gined both sides with piceous, apical margin broadly whitish. Fore 

 and middle femora piceous, multi-annulate wuth testaceous^ hind 

 femora testaceous with irregular, longitudinal, fuscous stripes. 

 Abdomen piceous with 4 or 5 rows of tiny testaceous specks, last 

 tergite with the apical n.iargin whitish-testaceous. 



Female : head testacectus, suffused with pale fuscous. Vertex 

 not quite as long as wide, angulate, a large dark fuscous spot on 

 each side of the middle near the base, and interior to these a short 

 dark fuscous line on each side a little anterior. Pronotum whit- 

 ish, anterior half testaceous with fuscous markings. Tegmina 

 whitish varying to fuscous with white apical margin. Abdomen 

 above fuscous and whitish testaceous, almost irrorate. Abdomen 

 below dark fuscous with a few testaceous markings. Frons 

 brownish testaceous with dark fuscous curved concentric lines 

 not touching medianly. Genae, lora and clypeus browni.sh testa- 

 ceous, each with a fuscous spot. Legs as in the male. 



Length 2 (male) to 2^/2 (female) mill.

Phrynoinorphiis. 



This genus, in its most restricted sense, seems to be strictlv syno- 

 nymous with Athysaniis Burmeister; the genus (for my pur- 

 poses) has a transverse vertex, which is not longer than the pro- 

 notum. frons wide, wider at base than long, wide tempora and 

 simple venation. The males have a valve. P. tacdius is, I think, 

 the only species of those I described in the first memoir that may 

 be considered to belong here {sens, strict.') 



In the subgenus Conosanus, with different head form, may per- 

 haps be placed the following:
