180. Armilustrium gardineri, sp. n. (Plate 50, fig. 3 a). 



Head, proiiotum and mesonotum bronzy-brown ; abdomen with the base pale 

 sanguineous, apical half black, sometimes with the segmental margins testaceous ; body 

 beneath and legs brownish-ochraceous, apical area of abdomen beneath, blackish ; teg- 

 mina shining pale bronzy-brown, irrorated with paler markings, of which two central 

 ones are transverse and angularly directed outwards, a prominent black spot on lower 

 half of apical margin ; wings fuliginous, darker on apical area ; vertex, pronotum and 

 mesonotum, thickly, finely granulose ; face with an anterior transverse ridge ; other 

 structural characters as in generic diagnosis. 



Long. excl. tegm. 4 to 5 mm. Exp. tegm. 10 to 14 mm. 



Loc. Seychelles. Silhouette : from highest forest, over 2000 feet. Mahe : high 

 forest of Morne Blanc and Pilot. One imperfect specimen from each locality. 



181. Armilustrium scotti, sp. n. (Plate 50, fig. 4 a). 



Head, pronotum and mesonotum bronzy-brown ; abdomen sanguineous, with broad, 

 shining-black, transverse, segmental fasciae, extreme lateral margins sanguineous ; body 

 beneath and legs brownish-ochraceous, abdomen as above ; tegmina greyish-white 

 irregularly speckled with brownish-ochraceous venation shining yellow, a prominent 

 black spot on lower half of apical margin, wings mutilated in typical specimen. 



Differs from the preceding species A. gardineri by its larger size, different 

 coloration of the abdomen, and by the practical absence of the anterior transverse 

 ridge to the face. 



Long. excl. tegm. 6 mm. Exp. tegm. 13 mm. 



Loc. Seychelles. Mahe: Cascade Estate, about 800 — 1500 feet. 



One imperfect specimen. 



Garment ALIA, gen. no v. 



Vertex of head broad, about twice as broad as long, excluding eyes a little 

 narrower than pronotum, centrally and marginally carinate, anterior margin a little 

 angularly convex ; face about as long as broad, anterior margin truncate, lateral margins 

 obliquely widening to posterior margins of eyes and then obliquely narrowing to 

 clypeus, centrally longitudinally carinate and with two curved ridges on anterior area ; 

 clypeus centrally ridged ; pronotum about as long as head, centrally ridged, anterior 

 margin broadly convex, posterior margin moderately concave ; mesonotum large and 

 long, considerably longer than head and pronotum together, tricarinate, the lateral 

 carinations inwardly furcate near anterior margin, posterior tibiae with a distinct spine 

 beyond middle ; tegmina twice as broad as long, costal membrane very narrow, costal 

 margin very finely spinulose, reticulately veined beyond middle, and with a subapical 

 series of transverse veins ; wings shorter and broader than tegmina, two transverse 

 veins on anterior disk and some of the veins furcate on apical and posterior margins. 



182. Carmentalia biformis, sp. n. (Plate 50, fig. 5 a). 



Vertex, pronotum and mesonotum ochraceous ; abdomen above more or less san- 

 guineous ; body beneath and legs very pale ochraceous ; tegmina subhyaline, claval
