N'cplicsa aurora sp. nov. 



Pale brownish-testaceous ; apical margin of the second seg- 

 ment of the antennae, third segment of the hind tarsi, etc., fus- 

 cous. Tegmina pale rosy, the apical margin and the apical half 

 of the hind margin, pale orange-brown ; wings milky. Vertex 

 very short and transverse, the rounded frons partly visible dor- 

 sally. Middle keel of pronotum very obscure. Tegmina elon- 

 gate, apical margin very oblique, apical angles rather prominent, 

 rounded. 



Length of the body 12 mill.; expanse of the tegmina S3 mill.; 

 lengths of the fore, apical and hind margins, respectively, of the 

 tegmina, about 25, 13 and 18 mill. 



Hab. : Amboina (Muir). 



Nephcsa coroiiiandcUca (Spinola). 



Hab.: Borneo, Telok Ayer (Muir). Previously known from 

 Java. The South Indian record is perhaps incorrect. 



Hanscnia kirbyi Melichar. 



Hab.: Borneo, Pontianak (Muir). Previously known from 

 Ceylon. Distant (1906 Faun.Ind.ni.411) synonymyzes this with 

 glauca (Kirby), apparently incorrectly. 



Oniiciiis dolobrata Fowler. 



Hab.: Mexico, Morelos (Koebele). 



Oruiciiis plcbcia sp. nov. 



This species has the general appearance of dolobrata, but dif- 

 fers as follows : 



The vertex is distinctly narrower and the eyes smaller ; the 

 frons is much less narrowed towards the apex and is scarcely a 

 fourth narrower at the apex than at the base (instead of about 

 one-half) ; the frontal keels are very obscure, and instead of being 

 truncate, the apical margin of the frons is slightly emarginate. In 

 dolobrata the hind margin of the pronotum is obtuse-angulately 

 emarginate ; in plcbcia it is roundly so, and the hind angle of the 

 scutellum is much less elongate and prominent. The pronotum 

 and scutellum are pitchy-brown, the head paler, frontal keels yel- 

 lowish-brown. In the tegmina the pale spot is much less clear 

 and the apical third is rather more closely reticulate. The clavus 

 is distinctly more strongly granulate. Legs browner. 



Lengths of body 6^ mill. ; to apex of tegmina 9 mill. 



Hab.: Mexico, Cuernavaca (Koebele).
