black, tlie basal area more or less testaceous; b^dy beneath 

 black, the carinations to face and clypeus, and the legs, 

 ochraceous ; tegmina subhyaHne, tinted with brownish 

 ochraceous, which becomes a little darker on apical area, tiie 

 outer margin of which is broadly fuscous, inwardly linearly 

 connected with the apices of the longitudinal veins, the 

 longitudinal veins minutely spotted with fuscous, an elongate 

 marginal piceous spot near apex of clavus ; wings subhyaline, 

 the veins dark.

Allied to the preceding S. pusana, from which it differs in 

 the distinct markings of the tegmina, &c. 



Sogata pallescens, sp. n. 



Allied to the preceding species S. distincta, but witli the 

 tegmina — excepting an elongate marginal piceous spot near 

 apex of clavus — almost uniformly subhyaline with the veins 

 alone darker; body beneath black; carinations to face, the 

 clypeus, lateral areas of presternum, rostrum and legs 

 ochraceous.

The three species of Sogata here described are easily 

 separated by the tegminal colour and markings, but it is 

 much more difficult in these small and fragile insects to 

 discover adequate differential structural characters. I have, 

 however, examined a series of specimens belonging to each 

 species and the characters on which I have relied are quite 

 constant. 



Orchesma si'gnata, sp. n. 



Vertex, pronotum, and mesonotum ochraceous, centrally 

 and laterally carinate, the carinations more or less pale and 

 narrowly margined on each side with black ; abdomen above 

 testaceous red ; body beneath and legs pale ochraceous, face 

 and lateral margins of abdomen beneath testaceous red ; 

 tegmina pale shining ochraceous, with the following creamy- 

 white markings, viz,, an oblique transverse fascia near base, 

 a transverse fascia a little beyond middle, three fasciate 

 costal spots between stigma and apex, two small spots on 

 apical margin and another beyond claval apex, near middle 

 and on the central pale fascia two longitudinal black spots
