300 Mr. J. Scott on new Genera and Species 



underneath and adjoining each eye a small black spot. 

 Antennas green ; apex of the third joint and upper half of 

 fourth and fifth black. 



Head finely crenulate punctate ; anterior margin adjoining 

 each eye slightly yellowish. Antenna) green ; third joint, 

 apex black ; fourth and fifth joints yellow, the former green at 

 the base, apical half black ; the latter with the apical two thirds 

 black, apex brownish. Eyes black or pitchy black. Ocelli 

 yellow, with piceous centres. Underside : adjoining each eye 

 and close to the anterior margin is a small black spot. Ros- 

 trum greenish or yellowish ; apex narrowly black. 



Thorax. — Pronotum finely crenulate punctate ; lateral mar- 

 gins very narrowly yellowish, the extreme edge with an ex- 

 ceedingly fine black line. Scutellum crenulate punctate ; 

 beyond the middle the punctures are coarser ; base generally 

 with indications of three small yellow spots, one in the centre, 

 and one on either side : these latter are considerably nearer to 

 the centre than to the basal angles, at which there is a small 

 black puncture. Elytra : corium finely crenulate punctate. 

 Membrane pale. Legs and tarsi green ; claivs black. 



Abdomen : underside very finely punctured, basal half deep 

 violet, apical half green ; exterior angles of the segments very 

 narrowly black. Underside green, thickly punctured, and 

 with a yellow central line. Connexivum above green, finely 

 and irregularly punctured. 



Length 5^-6 lines. 



Genus Palomena, Muls. 



Palomena rubricornis. 



Luteous, thickly and finely black-punctured ; nerves of the 

 membrane irregularly spotted with brown. 



Head thickly and finely black-punctured, except a small 

 space next the eyes. Face : central lobe distinctly shorter 

 than the side lobes. Antennce bright red ; first joint luteous, 

 black-punctured ; second and third bright red ; fourth red at 

 the base, apical two thirds fuscous ; fifth orange-red or yellow, 

 apical half black. Eyes brown, with a pale margin. Ocelli 

 red, somewhat inconspicuous. Rostrum luteous. 



Thorax. — Pronotum most thickly punctured next the lateral 

 margins ; on either side of the centre, and behind two un- 

 punctured eye-shaped patches situate at a little distance from 

 the anterior margin, is a small luteous spot. Scutellum punc- 

 tured as in the pronotum. Elytra the same, except at the base of 

 the anterior margin of the corium, where a few of the punctures 

 run into small irregular spots. Membrane very pale brownish,
