OuRANORTHUS PALUS * (genus et species uov.). (Plate 22. fig. 1.) 



Although this somewhat singular insect does not strictly conform to the diao-nosis 

 given by Pairmaire for his genus Lamproptera, I think provisionally it may be placed 

 under that classification. The erect horn in the dorsum is single, not seen as " cornubus 

 duobus," and is inserted at a right angle just above apex of the abdomen. Lanceolate in 

 form, it is neither carinated nor glabrous. The metopidium rises above the eves into 

 a tumid hump, and then it proceeds nearly straight to the apex. Leo-s stout and 

 slightly spatulate. Prons furnished with two short recurved suprahumerals. The colour 

 fine yellow and the surface devoid of hairs. Tegmina yellow, with orange-coloured 

 nervures. 



Sab. Bangalore, India. Size 8x5 millimetres.

Kleidos palmatus, sp. n. 



Tegmina sombre brown, but inclining to red at the tips. Posterior horn vomerate or 

 like a plough-share, with fine serrations on the lower edge. A slight tubercle occurs 

 above the geniculate angle of the horn. In other respects it resembles Kleidos vomeris 

 (figured in Moa. of the Membracidse, pi. xlviii. fig. 2) and is the second example of 

 that genus. 



Hab. Zanzibar. Size 9x6 millimetres. 



Kleidos vomeris occurs in Ceylon. 



Anchon strigattjm, sp. n. (Plate 22. fig. 3.) 



Procephalon conical, with the summit divaricate or split into two leaves, which the 

 insect appears to be able to close and open at will. The base of the cone has a white 

 line which runs to the top of the same. Posterior horn ulnatc and tapers to the end, 

 without any dilation. There arc no suprahumerals, or they may be represented only 

 by obtuse points. Tegmina bright and of a shining yellow, but corrugated and stained 

 with fuscous on the limbus, a spot on the costa, and a patch on the inferior edge. Tibiai 

 yellow. Size 9x6 millimetres. 



This insect recalls Anchon albolitieatum, but it is distinct.
