<$. Posterior angles of sixth c? • Posterior angles of sixth ab- 



abdorainal segment broadly and doininal segment acutely and more 

 obtusely angulated. elongately produced ; inner mar- 



gin gradually narrowing to apex. 

 Antennas " fusco-ferrugineis, arti- Antennas brownish ochraceous; 



culo primo subtus dilute roseo.'' apex of the first joint, upper sur- 



face of the second, apex of the 

 third, and the whole of the fourth 

 and fifth joints (excluding their 

 bases) fuscous. 

 Long. 24-25 millim. Long. 21 millim. 



Lyramorpha diluta. 



Lyramorpha diluta, Stal, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1863, p. 598 ; Bredd. 

 Ent. Nachr. xxvi. p. 35. n. 2, <S , fig. 4 (1900); Horv. Term. Fiiz. 

 xxiii. p. 348. n. 6, tab. ix. tig. 11, $ (1900), nee fig. 3, J. 



Stal's type (a female specimen) is in the collection of the 

 British Museum. Breddin has correctly figured the anal 

 characters of the male, but Horvath's figure (tab. ix. fig. 3, S ) 

 does not apply. 



Genus Tamolia. 

 (Horvath, Term. Fiiz. xxiii. p. 365 (1900).) 



Tamolia Horvathi. 



Tamolia ramifera, Horv. (nee Walk.) Term. Fiiz. xxiii. p. 365 (1900). 



Walker's unique type of Lyramorpha ramifera (Cat. Het. 

 iii. p. 476. n. 4, 1868) is in imperfect condition, possessing 

 only the first, second, and third joints of the antenna?, and 

 although somewhat divergent from Lyramorpha by the shape 

 of the body, I considered it best under the circumstances to 

 leave the species in that genus (cf. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist, 

 ser. 7, vol. vi. p. 62). Dr. Horvath has, however, founded a 

 genus (Tamolia) on a specimen, "uti videtur, nonnihil imma- 

 turum," which he takes to be Walker's species, but which is 

 clearly proved to be not so by the character he describes — 

 M spina ventrali antrorsum ante coxas anticas producta." In 

 L. ramifer the ventral spine does not reach the anterior 

 coxa?. Walker's species cannot therefore be considered the 

 type of Horvath's genus.
