This species, of which I liave as yet seen only two 

 specimens, is allied to P. pseca, AYalk., by the length of the 

 tympanal coverings ; it is, however, a smaller and differently 

 marked species. The most distinct, but possibly abnormal, 

 character in the type of P.jenkinsi is found in the tegmina, 

 where there is a distinct cell before the second apical area ; 

 the relative lengths of tliis cell and apical area are not quite 

 similar in the two tegmina. 



Fam. Fulgoridge. 



Subfam. Trotidvchins. 



EiLiTiiYiA, gen. nov. 



Vertex subquadrate, the margins strongly ridged, its apex 

 somewhat moderately angularly rounded ; eyes longer than 

 broad, posteriorly projecting over the anterior angles of the 

 pronotum ; face longer than broad, lateral margins ridged, 

 a little concave, moderately widened and angulate before 

 clypeus, centrally strongly carinate, the cariiiation bifnrcate 

 anteriorly ; clypeus strongly centrally carinate, its lateral 

 margins not carinate ; pronotum strongly convex anteriorly, 

 concave posteriorly, centrally strongly carinate, its lateral 

 angles posteriorly subacute, anterior margin distinctly 

 carinate; mesonotum tricarinate; posterior tibise with two 

 spines, one before and the other behind middle ; tegmina 

 about two and a half times as long as broad, costal margin 

 convexly rounded, apex conically rounded, costal membrane 

 broad, not veined, three longitudinal cells from base to 

 beyond middle, beyond which the venation is close and longi- 

 tudinal and where a series of transverse veins deliminates a 

 a close series of apical and anteapical cells, claval vein 

 extending to about middle of claval area; wings shorter but 

 scarcely broader than tegmina, posterior margin strongly 

 sinuate, a series of disconnected transverse veins before 

 apical area. 



Somewhat allied to Tamhinia, from which it differs in the 

 sha|)e of vertex and face, and in the position of the longi- 

 tudinal veins to tegmina, the first not being near costal 

 margin as in Tamhinia. 



Eilithyia insular is, sp. n. 

 Body and legs ochraccous ; tegmina very pale ochraceous ;
