Utana alherlisi, sp. n. 



Head ochraceous, punctured and mottled with shining 

 gi'een, the punctures coarse, central lobe more sparingly 

 punctate ; antennae ochraceous, first joint not reaching apex 

 of head, second longer than first, a little shorter than third ; 

 pronotum with the anterior half ochraceous, posterior half 

 dark castaneous, the ochraceous area with a few dark punc- 

 tures on disk, the antero-lateral and the anterior margins 

 thickly darkly punctate, the posterior dark area finely some- 

 what thicklv punctate, the lateral angles produced, with their 

 apices broafl and backwardly recurved ; scutellum and corium 

 dark castaneous, the first with the basal disk a little convex 

 and slightly tinged with olivaceous green, distinctly punctate ; 

 corium thicklv and more finely punctate ; membrane 

 cupreous, passing the abdominal apex; body beneath and 

 legs shining ochraceous ; two small dark spots on each side 

 of pro-, meso-, and metasterna; legs spotted with casta- 

 neous, the apices of the femora broadly of the same colour ; 

 rostrum scarcely passing the posterior coxse ; sternal keel 

 extending a little beyond the anterior coxae, ventral spine 

 moderately short ; prosternum coarsely punctate ; abdominal 

 spiiacles black. 



Long. 14-^ mm.; exp. pronot. angl. 9^ mm. 

 Hab. New Guinea ; Yule Island (L. M. D'Albeitis). 

 Differs from U. suprema, Walk., the only other known 

 species of the genus at the present time, by the shorter, less 

 acute, and recurved lateral pronotal angles, and by the sternal 

 keel extending a little beyond the anterior coxae, and the 

 shorter rostrum ; the last two characters render it almost 

 what is by some considered as of a snbgeneric position.
