I have compared the types of podariformis and macilenta^ 

 and find them to be identical ; poduroides is a larva. It is 

 possible tliat the species is the same as gracilis, Burm., but I 

 cannot be certain on this point without consulting Bur- 

 meister's type. The small size, narrow cylindrical shape, 

 the somewhat flattened pronotum, much longer than broad 

 and with the lateral bands adpressed to the disk at the base 

 only, are the chief characters of this species. I append a 

 description of what I consider to be the male of this species : — 



(J. Rufo-castaneous. Head castaneous, distance apart of 

 eyes equal to breadth of first antennal joint. Pronotum 

 coarsely cribrate-punctate, with a few smooth interspaces, 

 carinate throughout its length, lateral bands not closely 

 adpi-essed to the disk ; posterior angles not produced, anterior 

 and posterior margin slightly reflexed. A very fine, short, 

 erect pubescence on the disk of the pronotum. Tegmina 

 considerably exceeding the apex of the abdomen, paler towards 

 apex. Abdomen castaneous beneath, except at base, which 

 is testaceous. Legs and cerci testaceous. 



Total length 37 "5 mm. ; length of body 15 mm. ; length 

 of tegmina 15 mm. ; pronotum 4x3 mm.

7. Cyrtotria graniger^ Sauss. & Zehnt. 



Stenopilema granigery Saussure and Zehntner, Rev. Suisse Zool. iii. 

 p. 26 (1895). 



I do not know where the type of this species has been 

 deposited ; it is not in the Geneva Museum. The key to the 

 species shows how graniger may be distinguished from its 

 ally podiiriformis.
