with a deep, longitudinal channel along the 1st nerve, outwardly 

 green, inwardly pale blood-red and black-punctured, the red 

 colour crossed by two smooth raised spaces and two foveae ; Mem- 

 brane diaphanous, crossed by a fuscous band. Abdomen above 

 black ; Connexivum green. Underside pale apple-green, delicately 

 concolorously crenate-punctate ; Stigmata also concolorous. 



Head long, angular, slightly convex ; Face ; central lobe rather 

 flattened at the apex. Antennce green ; the 3rd and 4th joints at the 

 apex, and 5th entirely, brown ; 1st not reaching beyond the head ; 

 5th subequal ; 3rd and 4th each a little longer, subequal ; 2nd a little 

 the longest. Eyes not prominent, green. Ocelli reddish. Rostrum 

 reaching beyond the 3rd pair of coxae. 



Thorax. Pronotum ; anterior margin concave, in the middle 

 nearly straight ; angles a little produced and cut off obliquely behind 

 the eyes ; sides divergent, a little concave ; hinder angles but little 

 produced, and obtuse ; hinder sides nearly straight, much deflected 5 

 posterior angles acute, depressed ; posterior margin slightly concave ; 

 disk in front with a very narrow smooth space, the ends of it curving 

 towards the anterior angles. Scutellum ; the base convex, black- 

 punctured ; the basal angles distinctly pale ; posteriorly with ,the 

 indication of a central keel. Elytra : Clavus pale blood-red, con- 

 colorously punctured ; Corium with a deep, narrow channel along- 

 side the costal nerve, ending abruptly ; anterior to the channel the 

 colour is green with concolorous punctures, on the inner side of 

 it is a narrow smooth space ; the rest of the corium pale blood-red, 

 with close black punctures ; across the red portion are two broad, 

 smooth, raised spaces, the first going to the end of the clavus, the 

 second going from the end of the channel ; between them a wide fovea 

 and another at the end of the channel ; posterior margin outwardly 

 broadly rounded, incrassated ; Membrane diaphanous, with 5 nerves, 

 the 3 outer ones undulating at the base and joined together by a 

 slender cross nerve, which forms 2 cells ; across the centre a fuscous 

 band, a spot at the inner basal angle and another on the 2nd outer 

 nerve of the same colour. Legs green ; tarsi piceous-black. 



Abdomen above black ; in the centre of the 4th segment a wide, 

 shallow furrow, bordered by several minute striae ; upon the 5th and 

 6th segments a slight keel ; Connexivum ; the side of the last segment 

 prolonged and acute in both sexes. Genital segments ; in the $ none 

 are visible from above ; beneath, the 2nd segment has the posterior
