like tbat of the bead, with faint distant punctures. Scutellum rather 

 small, triangular, pointed, of equal length and breadth, about as long 

 as the thorax, its surface like that of the thorax, but with more distinct 

 punctures. Abdomen full, well rounded, and very regular. Tegmina 

 obscure (but perhaps extending only a little beyond the scutellum).

EEDUVIID^. 



(Eeduviina.) 



Beduvius ? guttatus. — Two specimens of this species have been found, 

 one with reverses (No. 9*, 96^), by Mr. Eichardson, the other (No. 4070) 

 by myself. Mr. Eichardson's specimens are very obscure and distorted, 

 and without the aid of the other could not have been determined. The 

 insect probably belongs to the genus Eeduvius {sens, str.), or at all 

 events falls in its immediate vicinity. The body has much the form of 

 the common B. ;personatus Linn., of Europe, but is proportionally shorter. 

 All parts are rather obscure, but the head evidently tapers and is roundly 

 pointed in front, the thorax narrows gently from behind forward and is 

 nearly as long as broad ; the scutellum is rather small, triangular, the 

 apex bent at a right angle and rounded. The abdomen is ovate, twice 

 as long as broad. The species is marked with round, dark spots, about 

 0.2""" in diameter, on either side, one at the outer edge of the front of 

 each abdominal segment, and one in the middle of either transverse half 

 of the thorax, a little removed from the outer border; the anterior ones 

 half-way between the border and the middle line. The whole surface 

 appears to be very minutely granulated. The tegmina cannot be seen. 



Length of body 5.5"™ ; breadth of thorax 1.4""", of abdomen 1.65™"*. 



[HOMOPTERA.] 



JASSID^. 



Acoce^lialus Adce. — Two specimens (Nos. 72, 100) represent the body 

 of apparently a species of Acoce])lialus. The head projects forward in • 

 a triangular form, is rounded at the extreme apex, a little broader than 

 long, and nearly twice as broad between the small eyes as its length in 

 advance of them. The body is slender, the abdomen slightly tapering, 

 rounded at the apex." The tegmina extend a short distance beyond the 

 body with parallel longitudinal veins.

(FULGORIDA.) 



Fulgoraf granulosa. — A single specimen and its reverse (Nos. 49, 131) 

 show only the thorax and abdomen of an insect belonging to the sub-
