above and below, supra-anal lamina more produced with a median 
carina, sub-genital lamina very large, its surface with shallow 
confluent punctures. Front legs and all the cox fuscous, all the 
tarsi, the mid and posterior tibize testaceous with the bases fuscous, 
the mid and posterior femora testaceous at base, fuscous at apex. 
Total length, 9 mm. ; length of tegmina 6°5 mm. 
Kucuinc. Four examples [No. 7]. 
The incrassated and plumose antennz in both sexes will 
serve to distinguish this species from those already 
described. 
Genus HOMOPTEROIDEA, nov. 
Head as in Latindia, Stal, antenne elongate. Pronotum elliptic, 
sides not deflexed, with arcuate sulci, with a sparse erect pubescence. 
Tegmina membranous, slightly exceeding the abdomen in length, or 
much longer, venation irregular, apical part of discoidal area 
reticulate, no oblique vein. Wings as long as tegmina in both sexes. 
Supra-anal lamina produced, triangular, sub-genital lamina in the 
female deeply cleft. Cerci elongate. Femora unarmed beneath ; 
tibize sparsely spined, spines in two rows ; tarsi without arolia. 
The genus differs from Latindia, Stil, by the absence of 
an oblique vein in the tegmina, from Paralatindia, Sss., by 
the presence of alar organs in both sexes, from Ipisoma, 
Bol., by the equally long tegmina and wings, from 
Hemilatindia, Sss., by the pronotum without deflexed sides 
and by the entirely membranous character of the tegmina. 
There are four species in the Oxford Museum, all from 
the Oriental region, but the specimens are in bad 
condition. The insects which in life appear very like 
small Homoptera of the family Fulgoride (e.g. Leusaba, 
Stacota, Epora) are extremely fragile and it is a matter of 
difficulty to capture perfect specimens. 
Homopteroidea nigra, n. sp. (Plate XVI, figs. 13, 14.) 
9. Head black, antenne fuscous, clypeus with an erect pube- 
scence. Pronotum almost orbicular, margined all round, a few erect 
hairs on the anterior and lateral margins, disc irregular with two con- 
verging sulci posteriorly, black, lateral margins dark castaneous. 
Tegmina castaneous, radial vein giving off four costal veins, three 
longitudinal sectors in discoidal field, apex of tegmina reticulate, anal 
vein angled, axillary veins reduced, reticulated. Wings infuscated, 
four costal veins, ulnar vein tri-ramose, apex of wing reticulated.
