178 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Fusco-testaceous ; front transversely broadly striped (about eight) 

 with dark brownish, the basal markings of these visible just at tlie apex 

 of the vertex. Eyes purplish brown. Tegmina with colourless veins, 

 the claval and some of the corial sparsely sown with dark brown, 

 extreme apex of clavus dark brown, apex of tegmiua obscurely fumate. 

 A characterutic dark biomi spot at the hose of the median ante-apical cell. 

 Legs pallid, with dark granules. Abdomen more or less dark. Vertex 

 strong, somewhat Hat, margin in front of the eyes straight ; ocelli 

 almost on a level with the disk of vertex before the upper margin of 

 eye. Pronotum scarcely twice as broad as long, sides short, posterior 

 angles strong, postero-lateral margin nearly parallel with scutellar 

 margin of tegmina, which are long with appendices slightly over- 

 lapping ; costal veins not reflexed, median ante-apical cell a little con- 

 stricted, extending posteriorly clearly beyond the adjacent cells, and a 

 little farther than the exterior discoid cell. Length, 3 mm. 



Honolulu ; attracted to light in the evening (probably from 

 grasses), March, 1904 (R. C. L. Perkins). Possibly introduced. 



EUTETTIX PERKINSI, Sp. H. 



Not closely allied to any species known to'me. 



Head, pronotum, and scutellum pale clear yellow. Vertex with a 

 tiny brownish dot on each side (near the intero-apical angles of the 

 eyes as seen from above) joined together by a thin brownish line, at 

 right angles to the longitudinal suture of the vertex ; on each side of 

 the last-named, in the middle of the subquadrihiteral areas thus 

 formed, is a larger brownish speck. Eyes greyish. Mesonotum with 

 antero-lateral and apical margins black, concealed by the pronotum, 

 part of which thus acquires a greenish tinge. Lateral margins of 

 scutellum narrowly blackish, two dots on the disk the same colour. 

 Tegmina opaque ivory white interiorly, milky subhyalme exteriorly ; 

 base of clavus smoky, bordered internally by dark brown ; extreme 

 apex of clavus dark brown, interior and apical parts (except the anti- 

 apical areoles) smoky.* Beneath pale stramineous, claws brown. 

 Vertex well rounded, between the eyes very delicately, longitudinally 

 wrinkled and punctured. Lateral margin of vertex between the eyes 

 slightly diverging outwardly and anteriorly. Venation rather obscure 

 exteriorly, not reticulated. Ultimate segment about four times as 

 long as the penultimate, posterior margin notched apically. Pygofers 

 scarcely four times as long as the last segment, spines almost colour- 

 less. Long. 4 mill. 



Leahi ; on Sida (one of the Malvaceae), March, 1904. 



N.B. — In somewhat immature specimens the tegmina are 

 only slightly smoky, the apical veins being more or less dark 

 brownish (especially at the extero-lateral margins). In very im- 

 mature examples the whole insect is pale yellowish, only the 

 claws being dark. 



■•- The effect of the tegminal colour and pattern is therefore smokj', with 

 a large pale opaque spot in the centre (of the two tegmina shut together), and 

 pale lateral margins.
