Family Pyrrhocoride. 
Subfamily Pyrrhocorine. 
Four species belonging to this family were enumerated in my previous list, two 
collected by Prof. Gardiner and two recorded elsewhere. All these were collected by 
Mr Scott and one other which requires generic distinction.

JOURDAINANA, gen. nov. 
_ Head about as long as breadth between eyes, elongated anteriorly, the central lobe 
robust and prominent ; antennze robust, first and fourth joints more robust and almost 
subequal, first slightly passing apex of head, third shortest, second longest; rostrum 
reaching the intermediate coxz, first joint not quite reaching base of head ; pronotum 
nearly twice as broad at base as long, the lateral margins ampliate and reflexed, very 
coarsely and rugosely punctate, crossed by a transverse raised impunctate fascia a little 
before middle ; scutellum small, its basal area coarsely punctate, the apical area laterally 
and apically raised and impunctate ; corium moderately broad, its lateral margins sub- 
parallel and a little acutely reflexed, thickly punctate, apical margins almost obliquely 
straight, membrane reticulately veined, not passing abdominal apex, legs moderate in 
length, anterior femora thickened, very shortly spinous beneath, anterior tibize apically 
thickened, basal tarsal joint longest, on posterior tarsi as long as remaining joints 
together. 
This genus is named after John Jourdain, who sighted Silhouette on January 19, 
1609.
