brown to near apex, wliicli is liyaline, before the pale apex is 

 a transverse, narrow, dull ocliraceous fascia, costal membrane 

 and costal area very finely and minutely speckled with 

 greyish ; wings witli about basal half piceous, sanguineous at 

 base, apical half hyaline, with the venation piceous ; pro- 

 notum transversely wrinkled and centrally longitudinally 

 ridged, the ridge not reaching the anterior margin ; raeso- 

 notum tricarinate, tlie lateral carinations curved and meeting 

 anteriorly; face finely rugulose ; clypeus broadly centrally 

 subfoveate ; rostrum reaching the posterior coxae. 



Long., excl. tegm., 9 mm.; exp. tegm. 30 mm.

Tabocasa, gen. nov. 



Closely allied to Learcha^ Stal*, but diflfering in the 

 following particulars : — Face without the subapical transverse 

 undulated ridge; clypeus distinctly centrally carinate; meso-

 long as pronotum.

Tabocasa saiiguinolenta, sp. n. 



Head, pronotum, mesonotum, body beneath, and legs 

 olivaceous or oclnaceous; abdomen above ocliraceous, with 

 the segmental margins and apical segment carmine-red ; 

 tegmina with more than basal half testaceous, its venation, 

 the costal membrane, aj)ical area, and apical half of claval 

 margin pale virescent ; wings sanguineous, their apices very 

 pale virescent, some of the longitudinal veins in the san- 

 guineous area piceous ; pronotum and mesonotum obsoletely 

 tricavinatc, the central carinatiou in each case distinct ; face 

 rugulose, about as long as broad, the lateral margins strongly 

 concavely sinuate ; clypeus centrally longitudinally carinate ;
