basal cruciform elevation black. Abdomen black, with two longitudinal and 

 slightly oblique macular white fasciae on each lateral area ; outer margins of 

 the tympanal coverings ochraceous. Body beneath pale ochraceous, thickly 

 clothed with greyish pile ; legs greenish ochraceous. Tegmina and wings pale 

 hyaline, the venation greenish inwardly, fuscous outwardly ; tegmina with 

 the costal membrane ochraceous and its outer margin pale sanguineous, the 

 transverse veins at the bases of the second and third apical areas infuscated ; 

 extreme bases of the tegmina and wings pale sanguineous. The opercula 

 are short, not extending beyond the basal segment of the abdomen, convexly 

 rounded externally, and slightly overlapping at their inner margins. Long, 

 excl. tegm., $ and J , 29 to 32 mm. Exp. tegm., 80 to 65 mm.

5 . Head, pronotum and mesonotum pale greenish, sparingly pilose ; 

 head with the area of the ocelli, and a spot on each side of base of front, 

 black ; eyes brownish ochraceous. Pronotum with two central discal curved 

 fasciae, which are united posteriorly, and a spot on the lateral margins, black. 

 Mesonotum with two central obconical spots at anterior margin, on each side 

 of which is a larger angulated spot, and a rounded spot at each anterior angle 

 of the basal cruciform elevation, black (these spots are more or less effaced 

 in the typical specimen described) ; base of the cruciform elevation, a small 

 spot on each side of it, and a spot on each side of the basal margin of the 

 metanotum, black. Abdomen ochraceous, strongly pilose, with three irregular 

 longitudinal fuscous fasciae, — the central one broadest, those on the lateral 

 areas much angulated and macular. Body beneath and legs greenish 

 ochraceous ; a spot at base of antennae, posterior margin of face, a spot 

 near bases and apices of femora, bases of tibiae, tarsal claws, and the 

 base and apex of abdomen, more or less black. Tegmina and wings pale 

 hyaline, the venation more or less fuscous ; tegmina with the costal mem- 

 brane greenish, its extreme margin black, the transverse veins at the bases 

 of the second, third, fourth, fifth and seventh apical areas broadly infuscated, 

 and a series of fuscous marginal spots placed on the apices of the longitudinal 

 veins to apical areas ; extreme bases of the tegmina and wings ochraceous.

Although I possess but a single female specimen of this 

 species, it seems to clearly belong to the genus Karenia which I 

 proposed for the reception of a Burmese species some time 

 since. The peculiar structure of the cruciform elevation at the 

 base of the mesonotum, the ulnar vein emitted at extreme apex 

 of basal cell of tegmina, the narrowed head, and short and 

 robust abdomen, all show its generic position, though of course 

 the male structure of the tympana is at present unknown.

 which he gives it, the " Dragon." It is now possible to purchase
