HEMIPTERA HOMOPTEBA OF CEYLON. 133 



yellowish carinse extending to the tip ; two other carinse run 

 below the eyes and extend nearly to the tip, where they unite with 

 two others, running between the eyes on the vertex, converging 

 rapidly to the middle of the length of the protuberance, and then 

 running subparallel till they meet those running below the eyes, 

 at their termination before the tip. Another carina runs on the 

 median line above between the others for a short distance. The 

 head, thorax, and legs are buff, speckled and reticulated all over 

 with black ; there is a conspicuous black spot on a buff ground 

 in front of each eye. Abdomen black above; ventral surface 

 and under surface of legs clearer buff, much more sparingly and 

 distinctly spotted with black ; a red spot on each side of the last 

 ventral segment of the abdomen. Tegraina rufous-brown, with 

 brown nervures, which become reddish towards the tips ; they 

 are marked with obsolete dusky spots towards the margins, and 

 with numerous pale spots on the disk. On the under surface the 

 tegmina are redder, and the pale spots are distinctly red. Wings 

 orange, shading into red on the costa, and with a broad border, 

 which is black towards the inner margin, and f usco-hyaline, with 

 red nervures, towards the apex. 



Allied to H. coccineus, but abundantly distinct.
