300 Mr. W. L. Distant on Homoptera. 



Melichar has separated the forms pallida and limbata rather 

 widely apart in his monograph of the genus (supra). I 

 think, however, that StaPs view must be maintained, espe- 

 cially as the same variation occurs in the following Ethiopian 

 species. 



Hab. West and Central Africa. 



Phr omnia superb a. 



Flata superba, Melich. Ann. Hofmus, Wien, xvi. p. 206 (1901). 



Var. — Tegmina pale tawny, not virescent, apical margin 

 very narrowly black, costal margin obscurely reddish, poste- 

 rior margin of clavus spotted with black and its lower base 

 marked as in typical forms of the species. 



Hab. Congo; Lutiti (Dr. Christy). Gold Coast (Dr. 

 Graham), S. Nigeria (Dr. Collett), Bendi (Dr. MacAlister), 

 Ashanti (Dudffeon, Brit. Mus.). Sierra Leone and Came- 

 roons (fide Melichar). 



Phr omnia superba, Melich., could easily be recognized as a 

 small form of P. pallida, Oliv. 



Phr omnia neavei, sp. n. 



Body and legs virescent, abdomen sometimes completely 

 greyishly tomentose, anterior and intermediate tibiae and 

 tarsi black ; antennas black ; tegmina virescent, costal and 

 apical margins — to apex of clavus — somewhat broadly san- 

 guineous, extreme apical margin fuscous or black ; posterior 

 margin of clavus black but not reaching base, where the 

 margin is somewhat broadly ochraceous ; wings creamy 

 white, the extreme base virescent. 



Var. — Tegmina ochraceous, not virescent. 



Antennas with the second joint nearly half as long again 

 as first ; pro- and mesonota tricarinate ; anterior and inter- 

 mediate tibias strongly sulcate, posterior tibias with two 

 spines. 



Long., excl. tegm., £ 12, ? 13 mm. ; exp. tegm., <$ 38, 

 $ 41 mm. 



Hab. S.E. Congo Free State ; W. of Kambove (Neave). 



To be separated from P. pallida and P. superba by the 

 black, not spotted posterior margin of the clavus and by the 

 absence of the black basal spot from same. 



Phromnia angolensis, sp. n. 



Body pale ochraceous ; antennas, anterior and intermediate 

 tibiie and tarsi black ; tegmina greenish ochraceous, costal
