Aqu^licium, gen. nov. 



Vertex of head narrow, projecting beyond the eyes, broadened towards base which 

 is moderately angularly excavated ; eyes large, oblong, reaching base of head ; antennse 

 long, first and second joints strongly incrassated, basal joint short, second joint long, 

 about as long as raesonotum, subdepressed ; face long, very narrow and slender projecting 

 beyond the eyes; rostrum with the second joint nearly twice as long as the first, 

 the apical joint minute ; pronotum short, anteriorly subconically produced, posteriorly 

 moderately concave, the lateral angles a little angularly produced ; mesonotum a little 

 longer than head and pronotum together, obscurely tricarinate, the central carination 

 distinct, the sublateral carinations oblique, short, and more or less obscure ; posterior 

 tibiae not spined, posterior tarsi with the basal joint about as long as the remaining 

 joints together ; tegmina about two and a half or three times as long as broad ; costal 

 membrane broad, obliquely transversely veined beyond middle, and again before apex, 

 principal veins longitudinal, a submarginal series of transverse veins, and beneath the 

 second longitudinal interspace, and at the apices of the third and fourth shorter inter- 

 spaces are a series of short oblique veins, apical margin rounded, inner margin concavely 

 sinuate before apex ; wings about as broad and little shorter than tegmina, two trans- 

 verse veins on upper disk. 



166. Aqucelicium typicum, sp. n. {Plate 49, fig. 11a). 



Body above fuscous-brown ; vertex of head and a central longitudinal fascia to 

 pro- and mesonota, dull greyish ; body beneath and legs ochraceous, apical area of 

 abdomen beneath more or less castaneous ; tegmina pale fuscous-brown, apices of the 

 upper apical veins sanguineous, a large spot crossing costal membrane beyond middle, 

 a smaller spot near apex, apices of the lower apical veins and spots on inner margin, 

 greyish-white ; wings pale fuliginous, the veins darker ; basal incrassated joints of 

 antennse dark fuscous ; face prominently extending before eyes which are black ; other 

 structural characters as in generic diagnosis. 



Long. excl. tegm. 2 mm. Exp. tegm. 7 mm. 



Log. Seychelles. Silhouette : Mare aux Cochons. Mahe : near Morne Blanc ; 

 country above Port Glaud, about 500 — 1000 feet; Cascade Estate, and forest above;

167. Aqucelicium elegantulum,, sp. n. (Plate 51, fig. 9 a). 



Body above dark fuscous-brown ; vertex of head and a central fascia to pro- and 

 mesonota, ochraceous ; body beneath fuscous-brown ; clypeus and legs ochraceous, the 

 latter tinted with pale sanguineous ; tegmina very dark fuscous-brown, the costal 

 and apical margins sanguineous, a spot near apex of clavus, two transverse lines on 

 inner margin and transverse lines on inner apical margin, pale ochraceous ; vertex of 

 head distinctly prominent ; incrassated second joint of antennse very dark fuscous and 

 more slender than in the previous species A. typicum.
