54:2 Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell on Fossil Arthropods 



Hem I PT ERA. (Heteroptera.) 

 Celantia (?) spposita, sp. n. (Tiiigididae.) (Fig. 1.) 



Tegmina or elytra rather narrow, 2'9 mm. long, formed 

 nearly as in Celantia vngana, Distant, but with the anterior 

 costal region flattened, with one less row of cells. As pre- 

 served it is reddish, but this may be due to an iron stain.

Gurnet Bay Oligocene, Isle of Wight, Hooley 13-1:. 



Hooley 572 is the same species. 



This is not like any British species of to-day, and while it 

 probably is distinct from the Oriental genua Celantia, the 

 differences are rather insignificant. 



I'ingis quinquecarinata, Berendt, from Baltic amber, is 

 entirely different. It does not a{)pear to belong to the 

 Florissant genus Eoiingis, to which it has been referred. 

 The tegmina agree in character with those of the genus 

 Phatnoma, Fieber, but the thorax differs. 



Lygceites amahilis, sp. n. (Lygseidje.) (Fig. 2.) 



Tegmen somewhat over 2 mm. long, beautifully marked, 

 as shown in the figure. The corium has white marks on a 

 black ground ; the membrane is light reddish brown, with 

 four curved, broad, white lines. 



Gurnet Bay Oligocene, Isle of Wight, Hooley 1398. 



I place this in Lygceites, a name devised for fossil Lygasids 

 of uncertain generic position, because I do not like to propose 

 a new o-enus from the teomen alone. The markings on the
