some-ivliat similar was taken in Manila in 1905, but I have, as yet, not 

 placed it positively. This second species was identified by Distant as 

 S. granulosa, but certainly does not conform with Stal's description, 

 either generically or specifically.

 specimen.

Palawan, Iwahig, P. I. (10981 W. SchuUze), 32 specimens. There 

 is considerable variation in this species as to color, the tints ranging from 

 pale green through yellow and white to rose. Some of the green speci- 

 mens have the tegmina bordered with yellow-orange. Found by Schultze 

 on cacao (Tlieohroma cacao Linn.). 



D.,^DA gen. nov. 

 Type: D^da puncticlava sp. nov. 



Head, including eyes, somewhat narrower than pronotum; vertex one-third as 

 long as its width, anterior margin (viewed from dorsad) straight, obtusely 

 angulate medially, laterally carinate and slightly laminate before eyes; ocelli 

 widely separate, their distance from eyes one-fifth their interspace. Face confluent 

 with vertex, as broad as long, lateral margins convex and carinate apically; sub- 

 median area broadly foveate before clypeus; median carination strongly tumescent 

 ventrad to juncture of face and vertex, less elevate toward clypeus, which is 

 separated from face by profound transverse sulcus; rostrum just passes mid coxs. 



Pronotum slightly longer than head, its anterior margin convex and in line 

 with middle of eyes, its posterior margin evenly concave. Mesonotum three times 

 length of pronotum, its disc evenly convex and medially sulcate, its posterior- 

 medial angle tumescent-tuberculate. 



Tegmina twice as long as wide, costal margin arched at base; costal area twice 

 width of radial and with parallel and reticulated oblique veins and sparse 

 granulations. Eadial area with cross-veins on posterior third. Outer half of 

 disc -nath reticulated parallel veins, apical area beyond transverse line with most 

 of veins furcate; entire clavus, interiad to its exterior vein, strongly granulate, 

 the granulations disposed in parallel lines. Posterior tibiis with two subapical 

 spines. 



Most closely resembles Ketumala Dist., from which, however, it differs 

 in the shape of the tegmina, the tumescent facial carination, the number 

 of spines on the posterior tibife and the position of the transverse preapical 

 tegminal line.
