short apical streak to clavus, two anteriorly and posteriorly 

 abbreviated vittag to the hyaline membrane, a sublateral vitta to 

 venter, and tarsi (except basal joint from base to near apex) 

 fuscous; apical part of corium (beginning at the level of 

 inner apical angle) sanguineous; a basal spot to scutellum, 

 a spot at apical margin of corium a little before its middle, head 

 beneath in the middle, median part of sterna, and vagina of 

 female black; median basal part of venter pale ochraceous, ros- 

 trum pitchy testaceous, femora (especially the first pair) rather 

 densely dotted with piceous ; brown-punctured, but puncturation 

 of corium almost concolorous and venter impunctate. Head 

 broader than apex of pronotum, antennse as long as body, first 

 joint not quite so long as head, pronotum, and scutellum together, 

 second at least one-fourth shorter than first, third about one- 

 fourth shorter than second, fourth about half the length of 

 third. Pronotum a little broader than long, without a distinct 

 transverse impression, but with a fine longitudinal median keel 

 reaching neither base nor apex, lateral margins straight. Scutel- 

 lum with a semicircular, impunctate basal elevation, continued 

 in a straight line to the apex. Corium with simple, nowhere 

 callose, apical margin. Front femora with about four larger 

 and several smaller spines. 



Length, female, 6.7 millimeters.

Allied to P. lewisi Dist., but smaller, with shorter third anten- 

 nal joint and quite differently colored pronotum and corium. 

 According to the figure of Distant's species the apical angles 

 of the last three abdominal segments are produced in a slender 

 spine. No such spines are present in cruenta or any other 

 Pachygrontha known to me, and they are not mentioned in 

 Distant's description. 



Pachygrontha bicornuta Banks " is identical with P. miri- 

 formis Bredd.*

This species has hitherto been recorded only from Ceylon, 

 but 0. limbatipennis Bredd., from Lombok, is evidently the same 

 species. In Ceylon it has been stated by Green to infest the ripe 

 bolls of the cotton, discoloring and caking the cotton. Several
