HEMIPTERA HOMOPTERA OF CEYLON. 169 



Tettigoniidje X- 



*TeTTI(}ONIA PAULLULA, 



Tettigonia paullula, Walk. List Horn. Ins. B. M., Suppl. p. 219 (1858). 

 Described from Ceylon. 



*tTETTiaoN"iA pupuLA, sp. 11. (Plate VI. fig. 10.) 



Long. Corp. cum tegtn. 5 millim. 



Head orange-red above, with a large oval black spot on the 

 hind border, and a smaller black spot in front, just visible from 

 above ; pronotum red on the sides in front ; a middle stripe, 

 widening behind, and the hind border black ; scutellum with a 

 wide testaceous band, in the middle, and black on the sides ; face 

 and under surface of body testaceous ; a stripe on each side of the 

 face, the knees, and front tibiae at least, red. Tegmina black for 

 two-thirds of their length, and. fuscous beyond, inclining to 

 f usco-hyaline on the edges ; the inner margin is broadly bordered 

 with red, nearly as far as the black colour extends, and the base 

 of the costa is also more or less red. 



Pundaloya. 



Closely allied to T. paullula, Walk., and perhaps a variety of 

 it. The type of T. paullula is in very bad condition, but there 

 are two additional black spots on the face, the scutellum is 

 testaceous, with two black spots at the base, and. the red colour- 

 ing on the tegmina is either absent or obliterated. 



*t Tettigonia gemina. 



Tettigonia gemina, Walk. List Horn. Ins. B. M. iii. p. 737, n. 27 

 (1851). 



Originally described from Java. 



The exact locality of Mr. Grreen's specimens is not recorded. 



*|Tettigonia frontalis, sp. n. 



Long. corp. cum tegm. 6-7 millim. 



Head yellow; front with a very large oval blackish spot, extend- 

 ing from a little below the two black ocelli to the base of the 

 rostrum, except on the margins. Pronotum black ; tegmina 

 purplisli black, sometimes clothed with a green scaling ; costa 



J I have shown in Proc. E,. Dublin Soc. vi. pp. 580, 581, that the type of 

 Tettigonia, Linn., is an Orthopterous insect, Gryllus verrucivorus, L., to which 

 the generic name must be restored. I cannot, without analyzing the generic 

 synonymy of the Homoptera, discover what name should be substituted for Tetti- 

 ^orafa in that suborder, and therefore retain it provisionally in the present paper.
