MEMOIRS ON ORIENTAL RHYNCHOTA. 51 



at an obtuse angle ; apex truncate, carinate transversely. Frons 



quadricarinate, the lateral earinse meeting the lateral carinse of the 



dorsal surface at the apex in a subacute angle, the two central carinae 



continuing to the apex where they meet fornicately, much elevated 



above and beyond the rest of the frons. The space between the two 



central and two lateral, frontal carinse is transversely carinate near 



the apex, the apical portion concave and its apical margin rounded. 



Clypeus laterally carinate. Ocelli large and distinct. Rostrum 



reaching to middle of abdomen. Antennae : 1st segment of peduncle 



very short, second long, stout, subglobular, covered with sensory organs, 



armed extero-laterally with a long acute spine. Pronotum and scutel- 



lum longitudinally tricarinate, Tegmina reaching far beyond the 



apex of the abdomen ; furnished with a number of transverse nervures 



towards the apex ; clavus with a short transverse nervure between 



the claval suture and the interior claval nervure, otherwise without 



transverse nervules. Costa not dilated, stigma opaque, with two 



nervures ; longitudinal nervures of the apical half of tegmina spinulose. 



Anterior and posterior tibiae much longer than their respective femora, 



posterior tibiae 3- or 4-spinose, connexiva very narrow, carinate on both 



sides, and in the depression thus formed lie the large spiracles. (6) 



The genus is closely allied to Dictyophara^ Germar, but, beyond 



other diflPerences, is readily recognisable by the transverse nervure in 



the clavus, which thus allies it to DicJioptera^ Spin. I know only one 



species, the type, viz. : 



P. EGREGIA (Kirby) 



PI. B, fig. 2. 



== t Didyophora (?) egregia ; Kirby, I.e., p. 335, Pi. v, fig. 4. I 



have examined the type and specimens from Pundaluoya and 



Harragam (Ceylon, E. E, G,). 



Sub-family Issinje. 



= Eurybrachyinae auctt. 



EURYBRACHYS CRUDELTS, Wcstw. 



Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (2) vii, p. 208 (1851). 

 This is another species which has not, to my knowledge, been 

 described or referred to, except in Kirby's Catalogue (1. c, p. 133), since 

 its original publication balf-a-century ago. 



(6) I would have lik-d to figure the weird head and the connexiva, etc., but these insects 

 do not dry well and the delineation of the parts has been postponed till I can examine fresh 

 or alcoholic material. - , .-
