(4) C. kiilia (Kirk). 



Lamcnia kiilia. Kirk.. H. S. P. A. Ent. Hull. 1, p. 400. Thi.s 

 species has the face wider at apex than in z'lilgaris. 



(5) C. bonwciisis sp. nov. ( <5 ). 



Light brown, inclining to yellow on ventral side. Tips of ros- 

 trum fuscous ; dorsum of abdomen dark brown ; eye castaneous ; 

 tegmina yellowish, slightly fuscous over apical half, veins slightly 

 darker ; wings light yellowish with slightly darker veins. Ventral 

 edge of pygophor truncate, lateral edges slightly convexly curved ; 

 and segment about twice as long as broad, parallel sided, rounded 

 at apex, anus on basal third ; styles subquadrate. ventral edge 

 slightly convexly curved, apical edge turned slightly inward, a 

 strong inwardly curved spine on dorsal apical corner. 



Length 2 mm. ; tegmen 3.S. 



Habitat : Teloc Ayer. 



This species agrees in neuration and structure of head with C. 

 kitlia, the only other species at present known from the Malays. 



Stal figured his type of Lamcnia on Plate IV of "Eugenics 

 Resa" in a very careful manner ; the neuration is quite distinct 

 and plainly shows that the subcosta and radia are joined, and 

 that the vertex is longer than broad. It is very near to Thyrocc- 

 phaliis, Kirk., but until I can examine L. caligiiica I keep them 

 distinct. L. I'lili^aris can be placed in Ccdusa, the other Ameri- 

 can forms I have not examined. L. kitlia also belongs to this 

 genus. 



I am not acc|uainte(l with Hcrpis, which Stal synonymized with 

 Lamcnia. It is possible that it docs not agree with my restricted 

 Lamcnia but with Ccdnsa, in which case these forms will have to 

 be placed under Hcrpis. 



Eoccnchrca gen. nov. 



Type E. maorica Kirk. 



In profile vertex and face gradually curved, very slight angula- 

 tion at junction of vertex and face. Vertex about half as long 

 as broad, base and apex nearly truncate, slightly narrowed at 

 apex, excavate in middle, transverse keel separating vertex from 

 face ; face laterally angulate and broadest about one-fourth from 

 apex, then narrowing to apex, lateral keels deep, distinct median 

 carina ; large subantennal process from angle of face to back of 

 gena ; antennae oval, small ; lateral ocellus beneath eye ; clypeus 

 large, flattened, tricarinate, lateral carinae large ; pronotum short, 

 shoulder keels very small ; scutellum as long as broad, lateral
