a flattened, apically pointed process and by the styles not swelling out 

 before the apices. 



Length 2.5 mm. ; tegmen 4.0 mm. 



Hab. Morelos, Mexico. (Koebele coll.) 



(6) S. testacia (Fowler.) 



I have one female which may be this species. It differs 

 from the typical species in having the pronotal carinae not 

 quite reaching the hind margin and not angulated; the lateral 

 carinae of the face are not sub-parallel but outwardly curved and 

 widest apart at lower angles of eyes. The furcation of median 

 keel more distinct. It is likely to represent a new genus.

(1) P. cervina Distant. 

 One specimen (?) from Macao on bamboo. 



(2) P. fuscovenosa sp. nov. ( 5 ) 



Two specimens which differ from the type species by their darker 

 color, veins of tegmina broadly fuscous-brown from base to apex and 

 larger size. 



Length 4.8 mm. : tegmen 5.4 mm. 



Hab. Macao, China, on bamboo. 



The absence of males for comparison is regrettable. 



Tropidoc&phala. Stal. 



Owing to there being both specific and individual variation 

 of the head, and the facies of many species very similar, the 

 species of this genus are hard to identify with certainty unless 

 the genitalia be described or, still better, figured; it is unfortun- 

 ate that Matsumura makes no remarks on the genital characters 

 in his monograph. A characteristic of this genus is the long, 

 curved penis and penis guide. All the species I have studied 

 feed on sugar-cane as well as grasses. *^

Vertex slightly longer than pronotum (2.2 to 1). Dorsally green 

 or yellowish green, ventrally inclining to yellow; medio-apical portion 

 of face and the genae below the eyes black; a black triangular spot 

 on mesopleuron; legs yellow with small black spines, abdomen yellow-
