frontal and lateral margins black; eyes pitchy ; ocelli brown, 
shining. Rostrum black, reaching posterior coxae. Antennaj

thirds the length from apex; base rugulose, a somewhat 
triangular space enclosed by pale impunctate lines situated on 
each side of frontal border behind eyes ; lateral angles pro¬ 
minent. Scutellum bright luteous, with two dots at base, two 
small parallel lines on disk, and lateral margin, very narrowly 
at base and broadly towards apex, brunneous ; the luteous area 
has a few deep brown punctures, the other brunneous portion 
of the scutellum punctured as on other parts of upper surface. 
Membrane fuscous, with strong longitudinal nervures. Abdo¬

spots situated conjointly in pairs at base and apex of each 
segment both above and below. Underside oi body san¬

marginal and stigmatal spots on underside of abdomen coa¬ 
lescing. Prosternum with a large black spot behind eyes in 
place of greenish markings. 
Note. Specimens from Bombay have the upper surface 
bluish instead of brunneous, have typical scutellar markings, 
but underside as in var. a. 
The Urolahida, sp., is evidently an undescribed form allied 
to U. Grayii , White; but, in its mutilated condition, I have 
abstained from any diagnosis.
