The male of this species in the Royal Museum at Berlin 

 bears a very close general resemblance to the following 

 species ; but the fore legs are much longer. The head is 

 fulvous buff, with a round spot in the middle, and three 

 black lines on each side of the hind part ; the pronotum 

 is marked with black lines ; the mesothorax with irre- 

 gular black marks ; the costal area is green along the outer 

 margin, and is spotted with black. The wings are closed 

 in the unique male in the Berlin Museum, and extend to 

 the extremity of the fourth abdominal segment.

The antennae are annulated with pale green, the annul! 

 placed about half an inch apart. The carina of the tegmina 

 is conically elevated near the middle. The longitudinal 

 veins of the wings are green ; the median vein of the costal 

 area is simple ; the hind portion of the wings is slightly 

 smoky.

A specimen of the male of this species, obtained by me 

 from the Royal Collection at Berlin, has the following pro- 

 portions : — 



Long. corp. unc. 3, lin. 1 ; cap. lin. \\; proth. lin. Ij ; 

 mesoth. Un. 9 ; metath. lin. 7 ; abdom. lin. 17 + lin. 3 = 

 lin. 20 ; tegm. lin. 2 ; alar, expans. unc. 2, lin. 7. 



Serville's figure above referred to represents the insect 

 at least double the natural width, although of the proper 

 length ; the fore legs are also too short. 



The tegmina are very small, narrowed and depressed 

 between the base and middle, the hinder portion being 

 swollen, and the carina in this part rounded. The ter- 

 minal segments of the abdomen are shorter than in CI. 

 Cnjphaleus, and destitute of dark dots. The hind legs are 

 also shorter than in that species. 



I have examined and drawn the insect in the Berlin 

 Museum, described by Burmeister as the female of this 

 species thus: — "Unicolor ; femoribus anticis in marginibus
