464 On a neto Species of Membracidse from Uganda, 



(but not horned), and a long, sinuate, inflated posterior 

 process reaching to the apex of the abdomen ; this process 

 divided into three lobes by two constrictions, the posterior 

 lobe being somewhat larger than the others, the central lobe 

 more or less divided into a dorsal and a ventral lobe; the 

 whole process shiny black, strongly punctate, with numerous 

 spine-like tubercles, and provided dorsally with an obscure, 

 rounded, impunctate, medial carina. The apex of the process 

 is damaged in the type-specimen, but apparently does not 

 end in a long spine as in U. pattersoni, Dist., and U. no- 

 dosum, Buckt. Scutellum recurved, widely excised at the 

 apex, with the apical angles acute. Tegmen large, extending

well beyond the pronotal process, hyaline, with the base dark 

 brown, coriaceous, and punctate, and a small fuscous area 

 on the anal angle extending into the third apical cell ; veins 

 yellowish punctate ; on the mid-costal margin a large pale 

 yellowish, raised, punctate stigma. Abdomen piceous, with 

 the posterior margins of the segments pale. Posterior legs 

 shiny black, except the posterior half of the tibiae and the 

 tarsi, which are pale yellow ; other legs missing. 



Another specimen has the tegmen, including the stigma, 

 almost entirely dark fuscous with the exception of the apical 

 third and two small patches, one near the base of the costal
