Genera and Sfccies of UlniucJiota. G4!^ 



nienibrane and extrenio base of tcgmina, and upper inner 

 margin of abdominal area to wings, ochraceous ; head con- 

 siderably shorter than space l)et\veen eyes ; pronotuni with 

 the lateral margins sinuate, obtusely and subangnlarly ])ro 

 minent before middle ; tympana imperfectly covered, the 

 flaps shorter and narrower than tympanal cavities ; rostrum 

 almost reaching the posterior coxse; opercula in male inwardly 

 obliquely divergent, extending to about the apex of third 

 abdominal segment, their apices somewhat broadly rounded. 



Long., exel. tegm., (^ 23-27 mm.; exp. tegm. 67-74 mm. 



Hah. Assam ; Goalpara (Brit. j\Jlis.). 



This species, which was sent me by Dr. A. D. Imms, 

 Forest Zoologist to the Government of India, can be separated 

 from the other Indian species of the genus as yet described 

 by the broader apices of the opercula and the non-infuscate 

 transverse veins to tegniina. 



Fidicina sawyeri, sp. n. 

 ? . Head, pronotum, and mesonotum more or less oliva- 

 ceous ; head with a transverse black fascia in front of and 

 enclosing the ocelli ; mesonotum with two short, anterior, 

 obscure spots only denoted outwardly by their black margins, 

 a spot at each anterior angle and a transverse central spot at 

 anterior margin of the cruciform elevation black; abdomen 

 above black, palely pilose, the middle of the three basal seg- 

 ments olivaceous; body beneath and legs ochraceous, central 

 sulcation to face, apex of rostrum, and spines to anterior 

 femora, black ; tegmina and wings hyaline, the venation oliva- 

 ceous or piceous, both yellowish green on basal area (includino- 

 basal cell of tegmen) and bright sanguineous at posterior 

 base of tegmen and occupying upper two-thirds of abdominal 

 area to wings; metastenmm transversely elevated and 

 anteriorly produced to about the intermediate cox£e ; head 

 (including eyes) about as wide as base of mesonotum ; eyes 

 not porrect ; head centrally, longitudinally compressed, and 

 also longitudinally impressed before eyes ; lateral margins of 

 the pronotum a little sinuate near base, obliquely recurved 

 at the basal lateral angles. 



Long., excl. tegm., $ 33 mm.; exp. tegm. lOS mm. 



Hah. Brazil ; near liio de Janeiro {E. E. Sawyer, Brit 

 Mus.). 



This species is intermediate between F. sericans, Stal and 

 F. rosa-cordis, Walk. ; the tegmina are unspotted as in 

 sericans, and tiie basal area of the wings has the beautiful 

 markings of Walker's species. A female specimen only bcino- 

 available, it is impossible to give the differential characters of 

 the opercula.
