thirds of the length of the costa to the inner margin. Antennae 

 and legs testaceous ; the first joint of the antennae much thickened 

 but hardly as long as the second ; the third distinctly shorter, 

 the fourth much shorter, forming an oval club. Spines of the 

 thorax strong, concolorous ; lateral margins before the spine 

 with two small teeth near together in front, and three large isolated 

 ones behind ; lateral margins behind the spine with three or four 

 small teeth ; hinder edge of thorax concave. Membrane hyaline 

 (possibly darker towards the base). Abdomen blackish, with 

 large, dull yellow marginal spots ; abdominal angles produced. 

 Underside brown in the larger specimen and pale in the smaller 

 one, indistinctly speckled with darker. 



Described from two specimens (labelled '• Putlam "), one much 

 larger and darker than the other, in Mr. Grreen's collection. 

 There is a third, without locality, among the series of specimens 

 in the British Museum, referred (erroneously I think) to C. lan~ 

 ciger, Fabr., by Walker.

Long. corp. 5 millim. 



Much resembles the last species, but rather shorter and 

 broader. 



Head and thorax dark brown, granulated; the sloping part of 

 the thorax with the back and sides, and a median line extending 

 to the head, testaceous ; thoracic spines very acute ; the lateral 

 margins of the thorax in front entirely unarmed, behind with tvs^o 

 ot three minute teeth, the last forming a distinct angle ; hinder 

 edge of thorax slightly concave. Scutellum with the extreme base 

 testaceous, expanding into spots at the sides ; the tip may also 

 possibly be testaceous. Inner angle of the corium with one 

 or two small white spots, representing the inner part of the 

 fascia in the last species. Antennae, membrane, abdomen, 

 legs, under surface, &c. as in the last species; but with a 

 rather more distinct row of black dots on the sides of the 

 abdomen. 



The type of this species is a specimen from Ceylon, referred to 

 G. lanciger, Fabr., in "Walker's Catalogue. 



Three other specimens placed under C. lanciger by Walker, one 

 of which is from Pulo Penang, resemble this species in shape ; 

 but the sloping part of the thorax and the head are testaceous 

 above (not blackish in the middle), there are no pale markings on
