17. Meroncidius yiridineryis, n. sp. 
Exp. al. 65 millim. ; long. corp. 38 raillim. 
Male. Brown, head smooth ; labrum greenish ; mandibles 
black, except at the base ; a depressed circle surrounding the 
space of the antennae, and the fastigium projecting in a spoon- 
shape between them ; scape pointed ; flagellum broken : the basal 
joints varied with lighter and darker brown ; thorax strongly 
granulated, a little speckled with black, and much raised behind, 
where it assumes a slight greenish tint; tegmina brown, minutely 
reticulated and spotted with dark brown, chiefly above and 
below the nervures ; longitudinal nervures mostly green ; in the 
costal area the nervures are blackish towards the base, where 
they anastomose a little; on the disk the transverse nervures are 
brown or indistinctly green ; inner margin with alternate darker 
and paler spaces : wings smoky hyaline, with reddish-brown 
longitudinal and brown transverse nervures ; hind margins 
damaged, but probably browner than the rest of the wing; legs 
indistinctly mottled; spines of femora mostly black on the

The hind legs have not been described ; they are reddish 
brown, the middle of the femora being black on both surfaces, 
the striations more or less marked with paler. The hind tibiae 
are armed, except on the basal third, with a double row of mode- 
rately long and pointed spines, the intermediate space above is 
clothed with long fine white hairs, and there is a row of much 
shorter white hairs on the under surface also. The sides and 
under surface of the hind tibiae are generally dark green or 
blackish ; at the tip there are two short spines on the outside, 
and two long ones on the inside. There are apparently only 
three joints to the hind tarsi : the first is three times as long 
as broad, but is broad and flattened ; the second is much 
narrower, half as long again as broad, and produced into a long 
tooth at the extremity beneath, aud the terminal joint is very
