somewhat depressed, the abdomen above moderately pilose : the head, 

 including the outer margins of the eyes, is subequal in width or a very 

 little narrower than the base of the pronotum : the rostrum about reaches 

 the middle of the first abdominal segment : the opercula are long, strongly 

 compressed and sinuate near the base, and then widened and convex 

 on each side, but narrowing at their apices which reach the base of the 

 last abdominal segment : face swollen and tumid with a narrow median 

 longitudinal groove and strong transverse striations, the interstices of 

 which are very broad. Allied to G. oopaga, Distant, from which its 

 smaller size and the greater length of the opercula at once distinguish it 

 {Distant). Long, 32 ; exp, teg. 88millims. 

 Reported from Mergui.

St&l distinguishes the subgenera Pomponia and Oncotympana thus :- 

 Pomponia — Abdomen in S longer than the head, thorax and scutel- 

 lum taken together, the first segment occupying the fifth or sixth part 

 of the abdomen, posterior margin straight or somewhat rounded, the 

 anterior lateral lobes moderate, not or very slightly convex, covering 

 only a part of the tympana, space between these lobes broad or some- 

 what so : last ventral segment acutely dentate on both sides at the apex, 

 (P.fusca, Olivier). 



Oncotympana Abdomen in $ short, shorter or only as long as the 

 head, thorax and scutellum taken together ; first dorsal segment occupy- 

 ing about one-third of the abdomen, posterior margin more or less dis- 

 tinctly sinuated ; anterior lateral lobes very large, covering the entire 

 tympana, convex, broader than the space lying between them : last 

 dorsal segment in ^ obtusely rounded on both sides at the apex (P. pal- 

 lidiventris, Stal).

S Body somewhat fusiform, ferruginous, partly whitish pubescent : 

 head and pronotum tinged with green : rostrum tawny, tip black, reach- 

 ing beyond the posterior margins of the opercula : antenna tawny : pos- 

 terior lobe of the pronotum bright green, partly ferruginous along the 

 fore border no tooth : mesonotum green on each side and at the tip, cross- 

 ridge pale tawny: abdomen green, powdered white beneath, and at the
