 ISSINAE. 



Hoiiispliacrius Schaum. 



This genus is in a very unsatisfactory state, despite the re/i- 

 sions of Butler and AleHchar. These revisions have been made 

 practically entirely on color and pattern, which are, judging from 

 the material before me, somewhat variable, certainly rendering 

 invalid Melichar's preliminary divisions of dark and pale forms. 

 At the same time I have made a new species on color and pattern, 

 as I have not the necessary material in other species to form an 

 opinion as to what structures are valuable for specific purposes. 



Heiinsf'hacriiis iiiohicccniiis sp. nov. 



Male and female not very shining. \'ertex, basal margin of 

 frons, a transverse stripe on the frons at the apical margin, an- 

 tennae, pronotum, scutellum, legs, etc., ochraceous. Clypeus and 

 rest of frons, genae, and most of the abdomen beneath, dark 

 piceous. Tegmina ochraceous, very closely lined irregularly 

 longitudinally ( and shortly furcately ) and specked with pale 

 greenish. Vertex more than twice as wide as its length, not 

 longer (scarcely as long) than an eye, with two pits. 



Length to apex of tegmina 4 mill. 



Hab. : Amboina (Muir). 



Honisphacrius jai'ciisis Mclichar. 



Hab.: Larat (]\Iuir). Previously recorded from Java. One 

 example is sulTused with rosy. This species also varies as fol- 

 lows . The tegmina from uniform pale green to piceous, there 

 being intermediate forms. The frons from immaculate green to 

 blackish with a ])ale green transverse stripe at the apical margin. 



The nym])h is like the adult, except that the hind tibiae are 

 rather dilated : the cly])eus is \rd\c green. 



The nymph has a double row of obli(|ue granules on the prono- 

 tum. the apical the longer. The large development of the teg- 

 mina makes the hopper very wide. The hind ti])iae are flattened 

 and widened and have one median spine. 



The coloring is pale greenish, yellower on head and pronotum, 

 the urotergites very closely specked with brown. Legs brownish- 

 yellow, femora more or less infuscate. Stcrnopleurites mostly 

 fuscate. 



?J cuiispJiacrius trisfis Stal var. liiicatalis nov. 



Hab.: Amboina ( MuirV The ty])c was froiu Batchian. 

 This agrees with the description of fristis, as far as it goes.
