Signoretia carinata sp. nov. Plate 1, fig. 5. 



Pale ochraceous throughout, the vertex and pronotum with a 

 whitish waxy bloom. Tegmina opaque, albescent; veins of 

 corium concolorous; costal margin apically and apical margin 

 slightly infuscated. Length of female, 7 millimeters. 



Length of face (Plate 1, fig. 5, c) less than the width across 

 eyes. Face of the S. iagalica type, the median frontal ridge 

 passing but shortly and indistinctly on to clypeus, the antero- 

 lateral depressions of clypeus large, deep, and leaving but a 

 narrow ridge between them anteriorly. The supraocular carina 

 is weak and coalesces with the lateral extremity of subocellar 

 carina about halfway between eye and median line; subocellar 

 carina sharp, strong, and continuous along the crown. Ocellus 

 distant the length of its own diameter from eye. Length of ver- 

 tex less than half width between eyes; concavity of vertex deep, 

 rugosely roughened, and with a distinct longitudinal median 

 carina on basal half. Pronotum (Plate 1, fig. 5, a) about three 

 and a half times length of vertex; the anterior lateral margins 

 about four and a half times into the width; marginal carina 

 (lateral view) and pleura similar to those of S. malaya; thimble 

 pitting very similar to that of S. malaya; with a complete median 

 carina which is stronger anteriorly where it crosses the trans- 

 verse depression. That portion of pronotum anterior to trans- 

 verse depression in this species, as in S. tagalica, is longer and 

 natter than m S. malaya, and the transverse depression is not 

 so broad laterally. Margin of basal cell of clavus little longer on 

 the commissure than on the anal margin. 



Mindanao, Agusan Province, Butuan {Baker) . The southern 

 representative of S. tagalica, but quite distinct. ' It will now be 

 ot no little interest to examine material belonging to this section 

 o± the genus from the intervening islands. 

 Signoretia bilineata sp. nov. Plate 1, fig. 6. 



Pale ochraceous, the pronotum whitish; lateral ridges of front 

 and discal concavities of vertex brownish ; a narrow brownish 

 stripe, interrupted by the transverse depression, flanking median 

 carina on either side, on anterior half of pronotum. Tegmina 

 sordid albescent, the apical veins and the apical submargin 

 fuscescent. Length of female, 6.4 millimeters.
