Genus Ochrochira. 

 Ochrochira lunata, sp. n. 



Fuliginous-brown ; apical joint of the antennas fulvous ; 

 abdomen above red, connexivum and apex fuliginous. 



Antennas with the first joint a little longer than the fourth, 

 second a little longer than the third ; pronotum with the 

 lateral angles widely, broadly, and somewhat lunately pro- 

 duced, their margins dentate anteriorly, profoundly crenulate 

 posteriorly, their apices subacute and slightly directed up- 

 wards. The body (excluding membrane) is finely ochra- 

 ceously pilose. 



S . Anterior and intermediate femora with a distinct spine 

 beneath near apex, the intermediate femora also with a series 

 of short spines beneath ; posterior femora incrassated and 

 with two or three distinct tuberculous spines near apex 

 beneath, and with a few spines on apical half of inner margin ; 

 posterior tibise moderately dilated, spinously produced at 

 about two thirds from base, and thence narrowed and in- 

 wardly dentate to apex. 



? . As in male, but posterior femora much less incrassated 

 and only spined at apex ; posterior tibise simple, longitudi- 

 nally sulcated. 



Long., <$ ? , 25-26 millim. ; exp. pronot. angl. 6-7 millim.

This species finds its nearest ally in 0. fuliginosa, Uhler, 

 from Japan, from which it is separated by the much more 

 produced and lunate pronotal angles.
