The colour of this Xiphocera is very variable, as in all the species. 

 The species comes next to X. cristata, Sauss. {I.e., p. 44, 5). It is 

 smaller ; the crest of pronotum is regularly arcuate, and has no 

 translucid fenestrse, &c.

PLATE XL 



PSEUDINGLISIA, n. g. 



9 adult. Scale elevated, more or less circular, ridged ; ventral scale complete, 

 detached ; antennae of four joints ; anal lobes very minute ; last five segments of 

 body with broad chitinous plates bearing spinnerets ; rostrum biartieulate. 



PSEUDINGLISIA RODRIGUEZ I^, n. sp. 



$ adult (fig. 1). Dark purplish-red, mottled with lighter red ; elongate-ovate, 

 widely rounded in front, gradually narrowed behind the insertion of posterior legs ; 

 zomital divisions very distinct in the living insect ; margins of the segments at the 

 sides bearing very long hairs, which gradually shorten as they near the anus, and are 

 almost wanting on the cephalic margin. Eyes very large, projecting, somewhat in 

 the foi'm of a truncated cone, unicolorous with the body. Antennae (fig. la) of four 

 nearly equal joints ; Ist much contracted at base, has one or more short stiff hairs ; 

 3rd with three, 4th with two at apex and two a little below them. Eostrum (fig. IS) 

 biartieulate, apex with two stiff hairs ; rostral filaments, which make their exit 

 through the first joint of the rostrum, are very long. Legs (fig. Ic) short, very little 

 longer than the antennae ; trochanter very small ; tibiae grooved, about as long again 

 as the tarsi, the latter without digitules but with a short stiff hair at apex ; claws
