Phyllodromia translucida sp. n. 



$. Rufo-testaceous. Pronotum transversely elliptic, posteriorly 

 truncate ; lateral margins broaclly hyaline. Tegmina hyaline, 

 reticulated , veins white , interstices filled with rufo - testaceous ; 

 marginal field broad , 11 costals the last two ramose , discoidal 

 sectors oblique , posterior ulnar vein simple. Wings with veins, 

 apex and marginal field rufo - testaceous ; radial vein bifurcate 

 from base , the upper branch giving rise to 4 costals, the lower 

 branch giving rise to 3, the first five costals incrassated at apex, 

 the last three ramose , ulnar vein 5-ramose , a triangulär apical 

 area , l st axillary vein 4-ramose. Supra-anal lamina transverse, 

 very shortly produced ; sub-genital lamina with apex deeply and 

 narrowly cleft , a short slender style on either side of the cleft. 

 Cerci moderate, pointed. [Front femora missing.] 



Total length 14,5 mm; length of body 12 mm; length of 

 tegmina 12 mm ; pronotum 3 mm X 4 mm. 

 1 $, Cameroons (Conrad t). 



The nearest ally of the species is P. pustulosa Gerst. but it 

 differs from that by its larger size and by the absence of 

 castaneous dots from the tegmina. 



Phyllodromia erythronotata sp. n. 



5. Closely allied to P. albovariegata mihi from Fernando Po, 

 but differs in the following points : — Head entirely rufous. Pro- 

 notum rufo-testaceous with broad lateral vittae castaneous, lateral 

 margins hyaline. Tegmina with 10 costals , last two branched. 

 Wings with 9 costals , costal margin not flavid , apical triangle 

 small. Sub-genital lamina at apex carinate, cleft. Cerci castaneous 

 at base. 



Total length 9,1 mm; length of body 6,3 mm; length of 

 tegmina 7,3 mm; pronotum 2 mm X 2,1 mm. 

 1 $, Cameroons (C n r a d t). 



It is probable that the males of these two species differ 

 from each other more than do the females and hence I think it 

 advisable for the present to keep the two species separate. 



Grenus Liosilpha Stäl. 



I have recently had an opportunity of examining the type 

 of Liosilpha pumicata Stäl and there can be no doubt that the 

 species is not congeneric with Phyllodromia germanica L. ; it enters 

 more naturally the genus Pseudectohia Sauss. as re-defined by nie 

 [Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (7) XIX p. 36 (1907)]; but I find (1) 

 that Lupparia Wlk. antedates Pseudectohia Sauss. (2) that Liosilpha
