less oblique, much broader, their inner margins convex and 

 their apices broader and convexly rounded. 



Meimuna raxa, sp. n. 



<$ . Head, pronotum, and mesonotum dull ochraceous; 

 lateral margins of front, area of the ocelli, on each side of 

 which is a slightly curved fascia, and anterior angles to 

 vertex, two central curved fasciae and the fissures to pronotum, 

 a central lanceolate fascia, followed on each side by the 

 broken margins of an obconical spot, a small acute basal spot, 

 a broad sublateral fascia, and a spot near each anterior angle 

 of the basal cruciform elevation to mesonotum black ; abdo- 

 men above pale castaneous, the segments more or less shaded 

 with black ; body beneath and legs ochraceous ; face with 

 the transverse striations black, but much less completely so 

 towards clypeus ; tegmina and wings hyaline, the venation 

 more or less brownish ochraceous ; rostrum reaching the 

 posterior coxae ; opercula just passing the apical margin of 

 the fourth abdominal segment, their apices shortly acute, 

 outer margins concavely sinuate before middle, inner margins 

 roundly oblique.

Jacobi redescribed Walker's species, of which the type was 

 an unlocalized female specimen. Walker's name stipata was 

 preoccupied by himself in the genus, and it therefore had to 

 be renamed, which I did, as T. walkeri. But, as Jacobi had 

 redescribed the species in 1902, which I now find by seeing 

 specimens for the first time in this collection, his name has 

 priority and must take precedence. 



The black longitudinal fascia to the face is sometimes 

 almost obsolete.
