may be distinguished from Lupparia by the absence of an inter- 

 calated apical triangle to the wings. Consequently Pseudectobia 

 sinks as a synonym of Lupparia which may for the present at 

 any rate be considered as separate from Liosilpha. The following 

 species may be referred to Liosilpha : 



L. pumicata Stäl (Brazil). Type of the genus. 



L. japonica Shelf. (Japan). 



L. alluaudi Shelf. (Madagascar). 



L. latipennis Br. (Ceylon) and the species described below. 



Lupparia includes L. adimonialis Wlk. (Philippines), L. insularis 

 Sauss. (Mauritius). 



Liosilpha hicolor sp. n. (Plate II fig. 5.) 



$. Flavo-testaceous , nitid , rather convex. Head with eyes 

 rather close together, a castaneous band between them ; antennae 

 with basal Joint testaceous, remaining joints castaneous shading 

 to rufous. Pronotum trapezoidal, posteriorly very obtusely angled. 

 Tegmina extending slightly beyond apex of abdomen , marginal 

 area very broad , 10 costals , the last 2 or 3 ramose , discoidal 

 sectors oblique , posterior ulnar simple. Wings hyaline suffused 

 with flavo-testaceous, mediastinal vein 3-ramose at apex, 10 costals, 

 ulnar vein 9-ramose , no triangulär apical area , l st axillary 3- 

 ramose. Abdomen castaneous above , paler at base , supra-anal 

 lamina produced triangulär, rufous ; abdomen beneath castaneous, 

 the sternites posteriorly and laterally margined with testaceous, 

 sub-genital lamina semi-orbicular , not very large, rufous. Cerci 

 of 14 joints, elongate, acuminate, fuscous tipped with testaceous. 

 Femora and coxae testaceous , tibiae and tarsi castaneous ; front 

 femora with a complete row of spines on anterior margin beneath, 

 forinula of apical spines f,,.{j f, no genicular spines on front 

 femora. 



Total length 17 mm; length of body 14 mm; length of 

 tegmina 14 mm; pronotum 4,9 mmX7 mm. 

 1 $, Cameroons (Conrad t). 



The bicolorous legs and banded abdomen render this a con- 

 spicuous species. A male also from the Cameroons is in the 

 collection of Sefior I g n. B o 1 i v a r , it resembles the female but 

 the supra - anal lamina is strongly produced , slightly exceeding 

 the sub-genital lamina which is asymmetrical and provided with 

 an unequal pair of styles , the right being flattened and short, 

 the left long , strongly chitinised and sharply pointed ; the edge 

 of the lamina is grooved to receive these styles.
