Pronotuni black, finely punctate, sparingly pubescent; 

 metopidium about as wide as high, nearly perpendicular; 

 humeral angles large, prominent, triangular, blunt; median 

 carina distinctly percurrent; suprahumeral horns about as 

 long as the distance between their bases, extending upward, 

 outward, and slightly backward, tips sharp and recurved; 

 sides of pronotum hollowed out behind horns and before 

 humeral angles allowing the eyes to be seen from above; 

 posterior process not present; scutellum entirely exposed, 

 slightly broader than long, lateral margins projected into 

 teeth, the central area strongly hollowed out; a dorsal tri- 

 angle of the abdomen exposed between bases of tegmina. 



Tegmina long, narrow, wrinkled, smoky-hyaline; base 

 black and punctate; tips rounded; veins prominent and 

 brown. 



Undersurface of body black and pubescent; femora 

 brown ; tibise flavous ; tarsi luteous. 



Length 6 mm. ; width between tips of suprahumerals 3 mm. 

 Type: Female. Locality: Kiautschau, China. 

 Type in author's collection. 



I should hesitate to describe this species from a single speci- 

 men, since the absence of a posterior process suggests the possi- 

 bility of mutilation, were it not for the fact that the insect agrees 

 in all particulars with the characters laid down by Distant for the 

 genus Sarritor* even to the peculiar hollowing out of the prono- 

 tum which allows the eyes to be seen from a dorsal view, and the 

 unique concave center of the scutellum. The specimen shows no 

 sign of mutilation. The wing venation is the same as that 

 figured by Distant for Sarritor retusus, the type species of the 

 genus. 

 Tricentrus kuyanianus Matsumura. 



1912. Centrotus kuyanianus Mats. Cicad. Jap., p. 10. No. 6. 

 Material from Hong Kong which agrees in all respects with 

 Matsumura's description of C. kuyanianus shows the hind tro- 

 chanters armed with spines, which character places the species in 

 the genus Tricentrus. 



Gargara lata sp. nov. 



Near Gargara majuscula Distant but smaller and dififering par- 

 ticularly in the appearance of the tegmina.
