 Island : from forest. 



168. AqucBliciiim hrunnescens (Plate 51, fig. 7 a). 



Body above fuscous-brown ; vertex — excluding apex — ochraceous, an obscure pale 

 longitudinal fascia to pro- and mesonota ; body beneath fuscous, clypeus and legs 

 ochraceous, tegmina pale fuscous, the veins darker ; vertex of head distinctly prominent ; 

 incrassated second joint of antennae very dark fuscous, in shape and substance much 

 as in preceding species A. elegantulum from which it differs by its different coloration 

 and pattern. 



Long. 3^ mm. 



Log. Seychelles. Silhouette : high country near Mont Pot-a-eau. Mah6 : near 

 Morne Blanc ; Cascade Estate, about 800 feet and over. 



Equirria, gen. nov. 



Allied to the previous genus AqucBlicium, especially by the strongly incrassated 

 first and second joints of the antennae, the second joint very long, but differing in the 

 following characters — Vertex of head considerably broader, subtriangular, excavate, apex 

 subtruncate ; face broader, projecting similarly before eyes, but with the apex a little 

 broadened, the lateral margins strongly elevately carinate ; clypeus shorter, only about 

 half the length of face ; tegmina about two and a half times as long as broad, costal 

 membrane broad, with two oblique transverse veins beyond middle, principal veins 

 oblique not longitudinal with a sub-inner series of transverse veins, inner margin not 

 distinctly concavely sinuate before apex ; wings distinctly narrower than tegmina, two 

 transverse veins on upper disk as in Aquoelicium. 



169. Equirria phalcena, sp. n. (PI. 51, fig. Q> a). 



Body and legs pale dull ochraceous, more or less greyishly pubescent ; antennae pale 

 castaneous ; tegmina subhyaline, a subcostal fascia, an oblique fascia near base, a 

 discal, elongate, oblique spot, a curved fascia near apical angle, and a subapical 

 marginal line, either pale or dark fuscous ; wings subhyaline, posterior halves of the 

 veins on basal half, infuscated ; vertex of head triangular moderately projecting 

 beyond the anterior margins of the eyes ; other structural characters as in generic 

 diagnosis. 



Long. excl. tegm. 3^ mm. Exp. tegm. 15^ mm.

FoRDiciDiA, gen. nov. 



Allied to the two preceding genera Aqucelicium and Equirria by the strongly 

 incrassated basal joints of the antennae, the second joint very long ; it is allied to 

 AqucBlicium by the longitudinal veins to the tegmina and the slender narrow face.
