Amblydisca cirta, sp. n. 



Vertex pale dull ochraceous, with a broad, central, longi- 

 tudinal, piceous fascia, which is broadest between the ocelli 

 and narrows to apex ; pronotum pale yellowish, sparingly 

 darkly punctate, two transverse piceous lines on anterior area

 three large pale ochraceous spots in central longitudinal 

 series ; body beneath and legs pale ochraceous, abdomen 

 beneath with a violaceous hue ; face with the central depres- 

 sion piceous, transversely connected by the same colour with 

 the lateral margins before middle ; clypeus (excluding base)

 purplish, largely suffused with ochraceous, veins ochraceous, 

 outside clavus the ochraceous suffusions exhibit more or less 

 distinctly four irregular transverse macular fasciae, apical

 breadth between eyes, anteriorly obtusely augulate, centrally 

 foveately depressed on apical area; face broadly centrally 

 flattened and slightly depressed, lateral areas transversely 

 striate ; clypeus centrally angularly elevated ; pronotum
