legs, mostl}- blackish-brown, the femora very obscurely spotted 

 with brown. Tegmina bright red-brown on basal three-fifths, 

 rest yellowish-brown ; an irregular, non-continuous blackish fascia 

 across the tegmina just basal of the division ; there are also one or 

 two obscure spots on the basal part. Veins mostly concolorous with 

 the ground color; the costal vein, basal cell, etc., blackish. Wings 

 scarlet ; a basal spot bluish-black ; apical third continuous with 

 hind margin and anal area, yellowish-brown, paling gradually to

 Two large spots on the vertex ; the scutellum ; abdomen above 

 especially basally ; some specks on the gastropleurites ; and the 

 tegmina largely, as well as some specks on the wings, covered

 there is a rather obscure sublateral keel (on each side), and an 

 obscure median one only extending about one-third of the length. 

 Apical half of clypeus keeled. 



Length IS mm. ; expanse 53 mm.

Eiiriiiopsyciie arborea sp. nov. 



Differs from obsciirafa by the size of the eyes, which in the 

 latter are small, but in arborra occupy almost the whole height 

 of the head in profile. The head is rather shorter than the 

 abdomen, and the labium extends to the apex of the latter. 



Length 20>4-21 mm.

 Udiii^aniii splriidcns ((Icrmar). 



I refer to this species some examples from Alacao (Muir; .iiso 

 in my collection from J. C. \V. Kershaw). It has also been re- 

 corded from India, Ceylon. Jkirma, Philippines, and Java. The 

 sexes are somewhat dissimilar in size and color. The exaiuples 

 before me may take the varietal name tibialis, the fore and middle 

 tibiae being distinctly bi- or triangulate with brownish,

 typical form. Alelichar adds Dictyophora imiiaiia \\\ilker as a 

 synonym, a name which Distant ignores. 



Electryniic gen. nov. 



Differs from Piitala ]\Ielichar by the vertex being regularly 

 narrowed towards the apex, while in Putala it is suddeidy nar- 

 rowed before the eyes ; the hind margin of the pronotum is ob-
