Genus Calvisia, Stal. 

 Cahisia maculata, sp. n. 



Female. — Testaceous (green when alive?), varied with 

 blackish. Head longer than broad; occiput convex, front 

 sloping and slightly excavated as far as the base of the an- 

 tenna ; a blackish band runs below the eyes obliquely upwards 

 to the back of the head, and there is a shorter one above it 

 running backwards from the eye, interrupted before reaching 

 a transverse black mark at the back of the occiput. An- 

 tennae marked with long black spots. Legs witli indistinct 

 brown bands and the tips of the femora and tibire and 

 the terminal joints of the tarsi distinctly black. Thorax 

 granulated. Prothorax with black markings on the sides 

 and on the median line ; this is interrupted on the front of the 

 hinder lobe, where there is a curved black line on each side, 

 before the black median line is continued. Mesothorax with 

 the hinder two thirds suddenly raised, the raised part with a 

 black spot and a curved black line on each side in front. 

 Tegmina with a cone-shaped elevation in front and distinctly 

 spotted with black, especially on the paler basal half. Costal 

 area of wings testaceous brown, spotted with black on 

 the hinder part, and more sparingly elsewhere ; the mem- 

 branous part of the wings greyish brown, scarcely hyaline. 

 Hind femora reticulated with black beneath ; first joint 

 of the middle and hind femora about as long as the' two 

 following; front tarsi missing. Abdomen irregularly and 

 indistinctly reticulated with black above.

Hub. Penang (Floioer). 



Seems to be most nearly allied to C. maculicollis, West- 

 wood, but with the mesothorax simply raised behind instead 

 of humped. In markings it greatly resembles Aschipasma 

 annulipes, Westwood, though much less heavily spotted ; but 

 its generic characters separate it at once from that species.
