it differs in tlie direction of the pronotal angle?, taking Herrich- 

 Schaffer's figure as typical. This is the West-African representative 

 of the genus, which, so far as we know at present, appears confined to 

 Africa, and to comprise probably but two species. 



AspAviA GRANDiuscuLA, n. sp. (Plate XXXI. fig. 3.) 



Head with the apex of the centnil lobe somewhat prominent, pale 

 ochraceous, with six longitudinal rows of coarse fuscous punctures. 

 Pronotum with the lateral angles acutely produced, and with the 

 apices slightly directed backwards, pale ochraceous, coarsely covered 

 with dark punctures, the anterior and lateral margins and a transverse 

 fascia across disk between humeral angles pale levigate, the last 

 with a few scattered punctures ; apices and fore borders of produced 

 lateral angles black. Scutellum pale ochreous, coarsely and irregu- 

 larly covered with dark punctures, a large oblong callosity in each 

 basal angle and apex pale levigate. Corium pale ochraceous, disk and 

 inner portion pale castaneous, coarsely and darkly punctate, and with 

 a marginal (excepting base) row of coarse and dense black punctures ; 

 basal margin pale levigate. Membrane obscurely fuscous. Underside 

 of body and legs ochraceous, head beneath and sternum sparingly, 

 lateral pronotal angles very densely covered with black punctures. 

 Abdomen with a central longitudinal castaneous fascia gradually 

 narrowing to apex, between which and margin on each side is a 

 black longitudinal fascia densely punctate. Rostrum reaching pos- 

 terior coxae, darkly and obscurely streaked, with the apex black. 

 Antennae with the second and third joints pale ochraceous, subequal 

 in length, but shorter than the fourth and fifth, which are also sub- 

 equal, but which (excepting base of fourth) are obscurely fuscous. 



Long. 10 millims., lat. pronot. ang. 7. 



Hab. Camaroons {Rutherford). 



Allied to A. brunnea. Sign. ; but, besides the larger size, the pro- 

 notal spines are less acute and not directed forwards, the second and 

 third joints of the antennse are subequal in length, the transverse 

 fascia to the pronotum is also different.

 AuuiviLLiANA, n. gen. 



Body subdilated. Head subquadrate, cleft between the antenni- 

 ferous tubercles. Rostrum moderately long. Pronotum with the 

 lateral angles produced, the lateral margins strongly denticulated. 

 Scutellum triangular. Abdomen moderately dilated. Anterior and 

 posterior tibiae dilated ; intermediate tibise a little thickened before 

 apex, or slightly subdilated. Apices of femora and inner margin of 

 posterior tibise strongly denticulated. Abdominal spiracles trans- 

 versely rounded, wider than long. 



This genus differs from Petillia, to which it is closely allied, in 

 the dilated anterior femora and the produced margin of the abdo- 

 men ; from Petascelisca it is distinguished by the transverse abdo- 

 minal spiracles, and the dilated and denticulated pronotum.
