326 Mr, W. L. Distant on Horaoptera. 



carinate, the eyes a little projecting beyond the margins of 

 the pronotum ; face broader than long, tricarinate; clypeus 

 not carinate ; pronotum longer than vertex, centrally longi- 

 tudinally carinate ; mesonotura tricarinate, the central 

 carination straight, the lateral carinations curved and 

 meeting on anterior margin, from near the middle of the 

 latter a short curved carination connects them with the 

 anterior margin ; legs short, robust, posterior tibiae with 

 two spines on apical half ; tegmina strongly waved and 

 sinuate, the costal margin convexly rounded for about two- 

 thirds from base and then concavely sinuate to apex, which 

 is broadly sinuately truncate, apical margin broadly bi-sinuate, 

 costal membrane broad and coarsely transversely veined, 

 basal cell connected with five longitudinal veins, the first and 

 second with a common origin at its upper apex, the third and 

 fourth with a common origin at its lower apex, the fifth from 

 its lower margin and subclaval. 



This genus is interuiediate between Mulvia, Stal, and 

 Epitemna^ Melich. The shape of the tegmina allies it to 

 Epitemna, irom which it is separated by the four upper 

 longitudinal veins being emitted close to the cell and not 

 bilurcating at some distance from it, thus resembling the 

 venation of Mulvia ; the species are also small as in that 

 genus. 



I have founded the name of this genus on that of my 

 friend Mr. Bell-Marley, who has done so much to assist us 

 in collecting Natalian Rhynchota. 



Type, iV. brunnescens, Dist. 



Marleyia brunnescens ^ sp. n. 



Body and tegmina ochraceous brown ; legs paler, annulated 

 with ochraceous brown ; tegmina finely palely spotted on 

 basal half of costal margin and on the apical margin, the 

 spots on the latter more numerous and confluent than on the 

 former, a larger pale spot on costal margin just before apex ; 

 wings a little paler ochraceous brown ; posterior tibias with 

 two strong spines on apical area. 



Long., excl. tegm., 5^ mm.; exp. tegm. 14 mm.

Marleyia albomaculafa, sp. n. 



Vertex, pronotum, and mesonotum piceous ; abdomen above 

 black, its base stramineous; face, clypeus, sternum, and legs 

 stramineou?. the latter indistinctly annulated with fuscous ;
