Described from one male and one female specimen in the B.M. coll.

This is the first of this genus to be described from Africa ; there is 

 a second species from the same district represented by a damaged female. 



FESCE]Sl!iriA Stal. 



I have not seen the type of this genus, and the two species, 

 F. himaculata Dist. and F. aurea Dist., standing under the name 

 Fescennia, I do not think belong to it. They are very near Neocyclo-
