extending fromeyes’'to apex of abdomen. Head with the 
eyes brownish ochraceous and a small ochraceous spot at base. 
Pronotum with a central, elongate, ochraceous spot and with 
the incisures brownish. Cruciform elevation at base of 
mesonotum ochraceous, black at centre and near its apices. 
Apices of femora and base of tibiae narrowly ochraceous. 
Tympana, opercula, and three indistinct longitudinal series 
of very small spots to abdomen (one central, the other two 
lateral) dull greyish. 
Tegmina and wings hyaline, the tegmina slightly infus- 
eate, the venation black dotted with ochraceous; transverse 
veins at the bases of apical areas broadly and darkly infus- 
cated, and a series of dark blackish marginal spots at the 
apices of longitudinal veins to apical areas; wings with an 
angulated blackish fascia situate on the transverse veins at 
the bases of the apical areas; wings and tegmina narrowly 
ochraceous at base. 
The rostrum just passes the intermediate coxe, the anterior 
femora have two large and robust spines and a third, small

Hab. 8. Atrica (Mansel Weale). 
This species is allied to 7. (Quintilia) vitripennis, Karsch, 
from which it is distinguished by the dark central fascia to 
the wings; in general appearance it somewhat resembles the 
Indian species 7’, subvittata, Walk. 
MASUPHA, gen. nov. 
Allied to Cicadatra. This genus is to be recognized prin- 
cipally by the tegmina, in which the basal cell is large, 
broader at base than at apex, and not twice longer than its 
extreme breadth ; the costal margin of the radial area is more 
or less curved and gibbous, and the inner ulnar area is dis- 
tinctly broader at base than at apex. 
Masupha ampliata, Spe me 
Body above blackish or very dark castaneous; head and 
thorax moderately pilose, mnore thickly so beneath than above. 
Head with a large ochraceous spot on the anterior margins 
of vertex adjoining front ; eyes pale fuscous. Pronotum with 
the margins and a central longitudinal fascia ochraceous, the 
incisures brownish. Mesonotum with two central, linear, 
ochraceous fascie, which are thickened posteriorly, the lateral
