204 PEOP. p. B. UHXEE ON THE [Mar. 6 



Collected on the Mount Gay estate, August 21-31, September 

 11-29, and October 7, on low grounds and hillsides up to 400 

 feet, beaten from herbage ; also at St. George's, September 29, on 

 herbage. 



The description is chiefly derived from the dark and mature 

 specimens. Some of these vary in marking, as well as in breadth 

 of hemelytra, especially in the amount of dark brown on the 

 membrane. This colour sometimes occupies the whole base and end 

 of this part of the hemelytra, and leaves a curved whitish band or 

 uneven spot between the two patches of colour.

 Head of medium length and width, regularly narrowing towards 

 the tip, the tip triangularly emarginate with the two processes 

 short and subacute, the surface granulated, longitudinally and 

 deeply depressed, with a curved, anteriorly tapering ridge each 

 side conspicuously granulated, which carries the ocelli, the occiput 

 truncated and sharpe-edged ; eyes of medium prominence ; the 

 antennae long, with the apical joint ( c? ) much longer than the 

 three others united, ( $ ) only about one and a half times as long 

 as the third, usually inf uscated on the apical half ; cheeks granulated 

 in broken rows, neck remotely granulated. Pronotum pale fulvo- 

 testaceous (when less mature pale testaceous), stained with pale 

 brown across the base, on the lobes of the posterior division, and 

 forming a diagonal spot on the side of the anterior lobes ; the an- 

 terior division granulated, with the side-lobes subtriaugular, a 

 little curved, pale, bordered with granules ; the posterior division 

 coarsely punctate, marked off laterally by a deep emargination, 

 followed by a long lamellar wing, which is deeply emarginate 

 on the end, acutely produced at the posterior angle and more 

 triangularly at the anterior angle, which also carries a slender 

 diagonal carina ; cariuate lines of the disk spreading widev apart 

 posteriorly, all the raised lines granulated ; the hamero-posterior 

 margin reflexed, white, slightly oblique, broadly sinuated, with
