the scutellum is half the length of the thorax ; elytra, strias 

 1-3 are punctate and com])lctc, the fourth is punctiform 

 apieally, fiftli jMinctiform and evanescent at base, sixth as last 

 but only rcacliing the middle ; in tlie dorsal region of the 

 suture there is a fine stria, not punctate, which may or may 

 not be the true sutural ; propygidium and pygidiura rugosely 

 punctate, especially the latter ; prosternum bistriate ; meso- 

 sternum deeply emarginate in front, and the transverse stria 

 following the emargination is fine, but at the sides it is very 

 strong, slightly sinuous, and ceasing only at the posterior 

 edge of the metasternura ; the first segment of the abdomen 

 has a somewhat similar lateral stria and a shorter one outside 

 of it ; the external edge of the intermediate tibia is armed 

 with a tooth similar to that in C. striati'sternum, Lew., to which 

 species it has a close resemblance ; the anterior tibiae have 

 four evenly placed teeth. 



In Carcinops striatisternum the metastemal lateral stria 

 does not connect with the mesosternal line, but it has a second 

 shorter stria outside of and parallel to it; both this and C. dtilcis 

 are without the conspicuous emargination in the outer edge of 

 the anterior tibite, and it is with some doubt I leave them in 

 Carcino^ys.

In the Munich Catalogue Harold gave Marseul's genus 

 Phylloscelis^ 1862, the preference over Gerstiickcr's Para- 

 tropusj 1866 ; but Phylloscelis was used iu the Hoiuoptera by 

 Germar in 1839.

 lateral stria fine but clear, margin narrowly and slightly 

 raised, anterior angles obtusely produced, no anterior stria,

 to be black ; ])ropygidiuiu and pygidium nearly smooth ; pro-
