I am compelled to found this species on a female specimen, 

 in order that it may find a place in my catalogue. The 

 lateral margins of the pronotum are broadly angularly 

 anipliate, and the rostrum extends beyond the middle o£ the 

 abdomen ; the head (including eyes) is about as wide as the 

 mesonotum ; the apical segment of the abdomen beneath has 

 a small fuscous spot on each side. 



Platypleura Undiann, sp. n. 



Body and legs dull dark obscure ochraceous ; head with a 

 basal iascia to front, a transverse line at each anterior angle 

 of vertex, a linear transverse fascia between eyes, and inner 

 margins of eyes black ; pronotum with a transverse fascia 

 near anterior margin and a central longitudinal fascia black; 

 mesonotum with tour anterior obconical spots, of which the 

 two central ones are shortest, a central lanceolate spot, and a 

 small spot near each anterior angle of the cruciform elevation 

 black ; abdomen above with the bases of tlie segments broadly 

 black; head beneath with a broad black tiansverse fascia 

 between the eyes ; tegmina pale subhyaline, nearly basal half 

 pale tawny, radial area containing two large pale spots, be- 

 neath which are other two pale spots in the fourth ulnar area ; 

 the remaining subhyaline area with small subobsolete darker 

 spots, the transverse veins at the bases of the first, second.
