joint ocliraceous, first joint not reaching apex of head, second 

 longest, third and fourth subequal ; pronotum nodulose, a 

 more distinct oblong nodule near centre of anterior margin, 

 anterior angular spines long, curved and slender, lateral 

 margins centrally angulate ; scutelliun with a centrally longi- 

 tudinal ridge not reaching apex ; lateral abdominal margins 

 strongly obtusely angularly toothed. 



Long. 13 mm. ; exp. pronot. angl. 7 mm. 



Hab. Centr. China ; Kiukiang {Pratt, Brit. Mus.). 



Closely allied to Al. gracilicornis, Dall., from which it 

 differs by the longer^ more slender, and acute anterior pro- 

 notal angles, which in Dallas^s species are shorter, broader, 

 flattened, and with their apices acutely pointed.

Sastragala quinquemaculata, sp. n. 



Head and pronotum ochraceous, the latter darkly punc- 

 tate; lateral prouotal angles and the scutellum and curium 

 testaceous ; two large spots near base and the apex of scutel- 

 lum, a somewhat oblique spot behind middle, and the costal 

 area to corium ochraceous ; membrane pale bronzy sub- 

 hyaline ; body beneath ochraceous, abdominal apex purplish 

 red ; antemue ochraceous, basal joint stoutest, a little curved, 

 considerably passing apex of head, second slightly longer 

 than either first or third and subequal to fourth ; head some- 

 what irregularly impressed; pronotum somewhat sparingly 

 but very coarsely punctate, the lateral angles longly pro- 

 duced and recurved ; scutellum more finely punctate, ex- 

 cepting the ochraceous markings, which are impunctate ; 

 corium thickly and more coarsely punctate ; membrane 

 passing the abdominal apex ; sternal process elevated, com- 

 pressed, anteriorly extending slightly beyond base of head ; 

 abdomen beneath centrally longitudinally ridged ; rostrum 

 about reaching the posterior coxae. 



Long., ? , 14^ mm.; exp. pronot. angl. 11 mm. 



Hub. Philippine Islands ; Irisan, Benquet Prov., Luzon 

 [R. C. McGregor, Bnt. Mus.). 



The longly produced and recurved pronotal angles and the 

 very prominent macular markings render this species easily 

 recognizable.
