 length from in front of eyes about equal to that of pronotura 

 and mesonotum together ; face tricarinate, the lateral carina-

 beyond the eyes; clypeus centrally carinate ; pronotum tri-

 culous; mesonotum tricarinate; posterior tibipe with four 

 spines, one at base and apex, the other two central ; tegmina 

 a little more opaque than wings, the stigma concolorous.

Allied to D. Walkeri, Atkins., but face extending much 

 more behind eyes than in that species ; stigma to tegmina 

 concolorous, &c.

Virescent or ochraceous, apparently the first in fresh and 

 not discoloured specimens ; tegmina and wings hyaline, the 

 first very slightly ochraceously infuscate on apical area, the 

 stigma more pronouncedly ochraceous ; head with a long, 

 porrect, robust prolongation, from in front of eyes about as 

 long as abdomen, its margin strongly ridged, and with a 

 short central carination at base, beneath with two central 

 longitudinal carinations strongly converging before clypeus, 

 and a fainter central carination more pronounced posteriorly ; 

 pronotum and mesonotum tricarinate, the carinations some- 

 what faintly and convexly united anteriorly ; posterior tibiae 

 with four spines, the apices of which are black, the basal spine 

 shortest; rostrum about reaching posterior coxaj, its apex 

 black.

Walker described this species from a single unlocalized 

 specimen, and 1 am now able to give its proper habitat. 



Dictyophara prognatha, sp. u. 



Body and legs virescent or ochraceous; tegmina faintly 

 virescent, the venation more darkly virescent, stigma obscure 

 virescent; wings pale hyaline; head curved upward, the 

 prolongation narrowing to apex, in front of eyes very little 

 longer than mesonotum, laterally and centrally carinate above, 

 the central carination not extending for more than half the 

 length from ba-e ; face distinctly narrowed anteriorly from
