 Paraplecta conradti sp. n. (Plate II, fig. 10). 



<$. Dark castaneous. Clipeus testaceous , antennae fuscous, 

 with a testaceous band about the middle. Vertex not covered by 

 pronotum. Pronotum trapezoidal, anteriorly and posteriorly truncate, 

 covered with minute tubercles, disc depressed. Tegmina extending 

 considerably beyond apex of abdomen, 1 5 costals, 9 discoidal 

 sectors which are longitudinal and given off at an angle from 

 the single ulnar ramus. Wings hyaline, marginal field semi- 

 coriaceous, costals ramose and obsolescent, median vein bifurcate 

 from the base, ulnar vein with 13 rami, all but 4 going towards 

 the dividing vein, axillary veins strongly curved ; a prominent 

 apical field, about 1 j i of total wing-length, divided into two 

 unequal portions by a longitudinal vein, the upper portion with 

 obsolescent venation. Abdomen above with the disc testaceous, 

 supra-anal lamina subquadrately produced, slightly emarginate. 

 Cerci rufous. Abdomen beneath with the disc rufous, sub-genital 

 lamina small, the style long and slender. Legs testaceous.

The species is close to that described by B o r g as Eustegasta 

 parva and subsecpaently by me as Paraplecta aethiopica, but can be 

 distinguished by the different venation of the tegmina, the granu- 

 late pronotum and form of the sub-genital lamina. It is scar- 

 cely necessary to point out that neither parva Borg nor conradti 

 mihi have the slightest affinity with the genus Eustegasta.
