Length to end of abdomen 3| mm. ; expanse of wing-covers

Six specimens of this peculiar insect -were taken at Kingstown 

 and various other localities on the island, 



CioifODEiius, gen. nov. 



Long and narroN\', with the wing-covers carried flat as in Plecto- 

 dcres aud Catonia. Vertex short and nearly square, a little wider 

 than long, with the apex bluntly angular, the margins recurved 

 all around, aud the depressed middle cariuated, the posterior margin 

 widely sinuated ; eyes large, prominent, placed obliquely ; front 

 wide, prominently curved above, separated from the vertex by an 

 impressed line ; middle carinated, sides a little expanded in the 

 curve next the epistoma, the epistoma uarro\\"ing to the apex ; 

 cheeks wide beneath the eyes, the curve carried above the eyes 

 short. Pronotum with the anterior lobe excavated, protracted 

 into the base of the head like a semicircular valve, with a small 

 tubercle at base, the sides carried down in narrow belts. Meso- 

 notum couvex, a little longer than wide, with the tubular middle 

 narrowly OA^al, mai'gined by carinate lines, and with a carina on 

 the middle ; the scutellum triangular depressed in the middle, 

 acuminate. Wing-covers long, bent inwards at tip, opaque, the 

 clavus long, acutely narrowing towards the tip, ^^ith the fold near 

 the inner border narrow and nearly parallel with the border ; 

 costal area long, \videning towards the base of the first forked vein, 

 aud narrowed from thence by the curve of that vein ; discoidal 

 members of the anteapical series of areoles very long, those near 

 the costal border strongly curved, the apical series shorter and 

 mostly curved. Ocellus placed, as in the preceding genus, at the 

 anterior angle of the eye and beneath it. 



ClONODEBUS LINEATTTS, sp. nOV. 



Chiefly brown above, yellowish testaceous beneath. Head pale, 

 a little clouded across the middle of the front and upon the 

 epistoma ; the lateral carinate edges, the front border and carina of 

 the vertex brown. Pronotiun marked with brown at intervals. 

 Mesonotum brown, with two ndddle stripes, the sides, and the 

 borders of the scutellum pale yellowish. Legs mostly pale yellowish, 

 ■with the tip of tibiae and outer sm-face of tarsi a little dusky. 

 Wing-covers darker brown on the basal two-thirds, including the 

 clavus, but with the veins mostly yellowish ; the costal area, including 

 the nodus and the space at fork of radial vein, besides the apex of 

 the clavus and the transverse veins of the membrane, also yellovnsh. 

 Tergum dark brown. 



Length to tip of wing-covers 5| mm. ; width across middle of 

 mesonotum 1^ mm. 



Two fairly complete, and one mutilated, specimens were secured
