tion, but my specimens of jcwaiia were taken in Java on sugar- 

 cane and conform to his description. I have recharacterized the 

 genus and figured the head of laratica. 



In profile vertex flat, projecting sHghtly beyond base of face ; 

 face curved sHghtly at base, more strongly at apex ; vertex an- 

 gular, sides with wide, slightly curved keels, beset with wax pits. 

 base roundly shallowly emarginate, unkeeled : face between eyes 

 narrow (keels contiguous), thence widening; antennae less than 

 the length of an eye, largest at apex ; clypeus rounded, laterally 

 carinate at base ; pronotum short, deeply angularly emarginate 

 behind ; shoulder keels very small ; scutellum longer than broad, 

 lateral angles behind middle, tricarinate. This genus differs 

 from Kainciidaka in having its vertex projecting slightly beyond 

 base of face and the apex of face strongly curved. 



(1) E. javana ( $ 9 ). 



Habitat: Pekalongan, Roban, Piroe and Amboina. on sugar- 

 cane. 



(2) E. laratica sp. nov. ( S ). 



PI. I f. 18. 



Stramineous, fuscous on gena round ocellus and on dorsum of 

 abdomen ; eyes dark castaneous ; tegmina hyaline, opaquely white 

 with waxy secretion, apical portion of veins yellowish, light yel- 

 low spot in clavus, another at base of radia, a band from apex 

 of clavus to base of first median sector, a spot in middle of costal 

 and subcostal cells, all more or less obscured by waxy secretion ; 

 wings hyaline, opaquely white with waxy secretion, dark-veined. 



Length 3 mm. ; tegmen 3.8 mm. 



Habitat : Larat, on sugar-cane. 



(3 ) E. obscura sj). nov. ( 9 ). 



Stramineous, fuscous on clypeus, ventral portion of thorax and 

 abdomen ; front tarsi and marks on tibiae and femora fuscous ; 

 tegmina hyaline, opaquely white with waxy secretion, veins yel- 

 lowish, a light yellowish mark over Ixise of radial and medial 

 cells, apical half of tegmina suffuscly light yellow, first and 

 second median apical cells fuscous ; wings hyaline, opaquely white 

 with w^axy secretion, dark-veined. 



Length : 2.5 mm. ; tegmen 3.8 mm. 



Habitat : Larat. on sugar-cane. 



It is possil)k' that this is the female of laratica.
