taA^Tiy, convex, carinate on the middle and impressed each side 

 thereof, the scutellum with an orange spot at the base, a large 

 reddish one next the inferior apical angle, a long white spot back 

 of the disk marked with fom- black dots, a faint streak on the 

 costa beyond the middle, a more distinct short band nearer the 

 apex, another, more oblique, next the apex, and a few traces on the 

 apex more or less black, the veins mostly white ; in front of the 

 white spot one or two black specks are usually present. Wings 

 clear white. Legs ivory-white, the anterior tibise and tarsi a little 

 dusky. Underside and venter whitish, powdered ; tergum dull

 island. 



PiiosoTEOPis, gen. no v. 



Eobust, in form of body similar to Cerco^ns. Head with the 



eyes hardly one half as A^ide as the pronotum, the vertex a little 



longer than wide, feebly carinated each side, the eyes large, round, 



and closely enclosing the vertex : the front long and wide, the 



sides broadly curAing and distinctly carinated, the middle line also 



carinated ; clypeus broad at base, with thick margins there, then 



acutely tapering to tip, the surface less prominent than the front ; 



rostrum reaching to the middle coxae. Antenufe stout, moderately 



short. Pronotum transverse, a little shorter than the head, a 



little arched, the base almost straight. Mesonotum large, convex, 



much AAider than long, with the scutellum triangular and almost 



equally long, and the margins recurved. Wing-covers A^ide, 



obliquely narrowing towards base on the inferior side ; veins few 



and mostly wide apart ; the costal area wide, long, and growing 



wider towards the tip, which is boimded by a transverse oblique 



vein and crossed farther inwards by two veins A\hich are oblique 



in the opposite direction ; the apical series of areoles begins beyond 



the nodus with a large subtrapezoidal areole m ith a curved inner 



vein, the next outwards smaller Avith the inner angle acutely 



curved, the following one is triangular, shorter and smaller ; the 



middle areole is Aery long and narrow, after this is a triangular 



areole, followed by a very long, curved, nearly wedge-shaped one, 



and on the inferior margin the areole is curved triangular, with the 



point directed against the tip of the clavus ; the anteapical series 



is designated by tAvo cells with curved veins. Abdomen broad, 



moderately convex, wider than thick.
