352 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on new Genera 



in the latter^ besides the difference of form, the head in the 

 same sex has two strong spines above the eyes. And this is 

 the very remarkable point, that these two spines are trans- 

 ferred to the apex of the prothorax in the insect before us ; but, 

 without a close examination, they appear to occupy the same 

 place as in the latter genus. The species here described was 

 found by Mr. Fry, in some numbers, in the hollow of a bam- 

 boo ; and a pair of these he has kindly presented to me.
