164 PERCY SLADEN TRUST EXPEDITION 
annulated with ochraceous, the coxee broadly ochraceous at base; intermediate and 
posterior legs creamy-white with black spots or annulations; hemelytra fuscous-brown, 
with the venation and numerous spots creamy-white, these spots are larger and more 
prominent on the costal margin ; wings greyish-white, the venation brownish ; first joint 
of antennee a little shorter than intermediate femora, second almost as long as first ; 
anterior area of pronotum very much shorter than posterior area; pronotal lateral 
margins nearly obliquely straight. 
Long. incl. hemelytra 54 mm. 
Loc. Seychelles. Silhouette: Mare aux Cochons, over 1000 feet, IX. 1908. 
Mahé: Long Island, VII. 1908; Cascade Estate, ca. 1000 feet. 
From the description this species seems to be allied to P. morstalli Schum. from 
German East Africa. It is certainly allied to P. mexta Dist. from Ceylon, from which it 
differs in the shorter hemelytra &c. 
76. Calphurma reticulata, Dist. 
Calphurma reticulata Dist., Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist., (8) iii. p. 503 (1909). 
Loc. Seychelles. Mahé: Cascade Estate, ca. 1000 feet. A single specimen 
agreeing perfectly with the typical specimens received from Calcutta and Ceylon. 
CALPHURNIOIDES, gen. nov. 
Allied to Calphurnia but differmg by the longer antenne and different proportional 
length of joimts, the longer anterior pronotal lobe, and the non-spinulose legs. Cal- 
phurma (2) aberrans Dist. from Ceylon will also be included in this genus. I pointed 
out the structural differences (Faun. Brit. India, Rhynch., v. p. 176) and stated that 
I had “ provisionally included it in Calphurnia.” 
Another character is a long erect spine at the apex of the scutellum, which is 
probably present also in Calphurnia. All my specimens of that genus were and are 
pinned through the scutellum, the spine being thus completely mutilated ; carded 
specimens in this collection enable a better diagnosis to be made. Calphurnia aberrans 
Dist. was also similarly mutilated. 
77. Calphurmoides elongatus, sp. n. (Plate 12, fig. 15a). 
Body and legs dull pale ochraceous; anterior femora annulated with pale fuscous- 
brown ; eyes black ; hemelytra spotted and speckled with brownish-ochraceous, a distinct 
black spot on disk of membrane ; antennze with the first joint a little longer than the 
intermediate femora, second shorter than first but much longer than third; head 
narrowed at base but not distinctly pedunculate, strongly transversely impressed 
between eyes, postocular much longer than anteocular area; pronotum elongate, the 
lateral margins piceous, anterior lobe more than half the length of posterior lobe, the first 
with the lateral margins convex, the anterior angles moderately prominent, its disk 
longitudinally excavate, posterior lobe widened posteriorly, centrally longitudinally 
suleate, darkly transversely ridged near posterior margin; scutellum strongly erectly
