fig. 16) the species of Fabricius, M'liicli is quite distinct from 

 Walkcr^s species and evidently belongs to another genus. 

 Signoret also mentions that it is contained in the " Coll. 

 Banks " under the name of cceriileopennis, Fabr. The 

 Banksian Collection in the British Museum contains no such 

 species, and Fabricius described both his cceruleopennis and 

 C(Brulescens as " Dom. de Billardiere." Walker^s type is 

 unlocalized, but is certainly Neotropical^ as proved by other 

 specimens.

Vertex, pronotura, and scutellum dark castaneous ; abdo- 

 men above bluish black ; body beneath and legs castaneous ; 

 cheeks, inner area of prosternum, disks and lateral margins

 short longitudinal flavescent fascias on disk above the claval 

 suture ; wings pale fuscous, the veins black ; vertex as long 

 as breadth between eyes, obtusely rounded in front, ante- 

 riorly narrowed, apically centrally foveately depressed and 

 with a central longitudinal incised line on basal area ; face 

 elongate, centrally broadly longitudinally flattened and 

 obscurely striate, a short central ridge at the base, lateral 

 areas transversely striate ; ciypeus centrally angularly 

 elevated ; pronotum coarsely granulose ; scutellum trans- 

 versely laterally striate on apical area, where it is also 

 centrally depressed ; tegmina more or less strongly granulose 

 at margins of the veins, more coarsely so on claval area. 



Long., excl. tegm., 18 mm. ; exp. tegm. 32 mm.

Abana drusilla, sp. n. 



Vertex greyish, the basal margin angularly enlarged on

 flavescent ; face (excluding about basal half) and ciypeus 

 umber-brown ; inner margins of cheeks, disk of sternum, 

 curved longitudinal fasciae to lateral areas of meso- and

 beneath, black or piceous black ; legs yellowish ; tegmina 

 ochraceous, on nearly apical half piceous between the veins; 

 vertex about as long as breadth between eyes, centrally
