DISTANT— EHYNCHOTA. 31 



half the length of third ; eyes rounded, prominent, passing the anterior angles of the 

 pronotum ; pronotiim convex, slightly longer than head, about twice as broad as long, 

 lateral mai'gins oblique, posterior angles subprominently rounded, a little centrally 

 excavate near each lateral margin ; scutellum a little shorter than head and pronotum 

 together, subtriangular, convex at basal area and distinctly deflected at apical area, 

 which is flattened, narrowed, the apex rounded ; corium with the lateral margins 

 convexly rounded from near base, apical margin obliquely straight, a little longer 

 than membrane, which passes the apex of abdomen and is thickly longitudinally 

 veined ; odoriferous apertures transverse, slender, widened interiorly; abdomen 

 beneath convex ; legs moderately slender. 



Apparently allied to Gadarscama, E,eut., a genus I have not seen.

Head black, very coarsely punctate, the lateral and apical margins narrowly dull 

 ochraceous ; antennse with the first, second, and third joints ochraceous, remainder 

 mutilated in specimens examined ; pronotum black, coarsely punctate, the lateral 

 margins ochraceous, two levigate spots (sometimes united) at middle of anterior margin, 

 and four levigate spots in transverse series across disk, stramineous, a smooth transverse 

 opaque spot near each anterior angle ; scutellum black, coarsely punctate and wrinkled, 

 a central levigate line from base to about middle and the apex ochraceous, a somewhat 

 large levigate spot near each basal angle stramineous ; corium piceous, punctate, basal 

 third of costal margin ochraceous, a discal longitudinal levigate raised line, which is 

 obliquely and more broadly directed inward towards apex of scutellum, pale dull 

 olivaceous green ; membrane subhyaline, for basal two-thirds reflecting the dark 

 abdomen beneath ; head beneath and sternum black ; rostrum, coxse, and legs 

 stramineous ; abdomen beneath bright testaceous ; apical joint of rostrum black ; lateral

6. Sepina seychellensis, sp. n. (Plate 4. figs. 3, 3 a.) 



Above fuscous-brown ; membrane piceous when reflecting abdomen beneath, dull 

 greyish brown when expanded ; head beneath and the apical and lateral margins 

 above ochraceous ; antennae with the first and second joints ochraceous, third fuscous 

 at base, stramineous at apex, fourth and fifth black with their apices ochraceous ; 

 pronotum with the margins and a central longitudinal line ochraceous ; scutellum 

 with a central ochraceous longitudinal line which is only plainly visible on basal half, 

 the apex very pale ochraceous ; corium with the veins brownish ochraceous, and with a 

 discal greyish spot a little behind middle ; connexivum ochraceous with black spots ; 

 body beneath, rostrum, and legs ochraceous, a broad sublateral fascia on each side of 

 sternum and abdomen, two central longitudinal spots on mesosteraum, and a linear 

 spot on each side of head at base of rostrum, black; head rather longer than breadth
