HEMIPTERA HETE/ROPTERA. 4U3 



93. Edessa globulifera. 



Prasina, subius teslacea; caput transverse striatum, testaceo pallida 

 varium; antenna rufte; thorax aspere punclatus, anlice testaceus, 

 cornubus cylindricis subarcualis antice sub/lexis apice nigris el sub- 

 globosis lalitudine basali plus duplo longioribus ; ventris lalera 

 viridia ; pedes teslacei, libiis tarsisque rufts, femoribus anlerioribus 

 supra piceis ; alee antica; rufce, venis lestaceis ramosis. 



Grass-green, testaceous beneath. Head mostly pale testaceous, trans- 

 versely striated on each side. Eyes piceous. Rostrum ferruginous. An- 

 tennas red ; second joint as long as the third. Thorax thinly and roughly 

 punctured, mostly pale testaceous in front, transversely striated on each 

 side; horns cylindrical, slightly curved and inclined forward, slightly 

 notched on the hind side, more than twice longer than their breadth at the 

 base, black towards the tips, which are slightly globose. Scutellum 

 attenuated, acute, punctured like the thorax. Abdomen green on each side 

 beneath ; hind angles of the segments successively more elongated and 

 acute; those of the apical segment not dentate. Legs testaceous ; tibiae 

 and tarsi red; anterior femora piceous above. Fore wings red, thickly and 

 minutely punctured, with testaceous ramose veins; membrane aeneous- 

 brown. Length of the body 11 lines. 



The character which distinguishes E. antica from E. cervus will also 

 distinguish this species, and it may be distinguished from E. antica by its 

 thoracic horns, which are more slender towards their tips.

94. Edessa ductor. 



Prasina, subius testacea ; caput pallide testaceum ; antenna ruf a ; thorax 

 subtiliter punclatus, antice testaceus, cornubus nigris aculis basi 

 pallidis lalitudine basali duplo longioribus ; scutellum testaceo plagi- 

 atum ; abdomen apice spinosum ; pedes lutei. 



Grass-green, testaceous beneath. Head pale testaceous, nearly smooth. 

 Eyes pale brown. Antennae red; second joint as long as the third ; fourth 

 about twice the length of the third. Thorax and scutellum thickly and 

 minutely punctured. Thorax mostly pale testaceous and smooth in front, 

 transversely striated along each side; horns acute, directly diverging, black 

 except towards their base, twice longer than their breadth at the base. 

 Scutellum attenuated, acute, with some testaceous patches. Pectus and 

 under side of the abdomen with transverse green lines, which are mostly on 

 the sutures. Hind borders of the abdominal segments successively more 

 elongated and acute, those of the apical segment forming spines. Legs 

 luleous. Fore wings more minutely punctured than the thorax ; membrane 

 aeneous-brown. Length of the body 10.^ lines. 



The shorter and more slender horns of the thorax distinguish it from 

 E. longispina, and the apical spines of the abdomen arc stouter.
