 notum into its width about three times; body above variously 

 colored with chocolate brown, pale ochraceous, grayish brown, 



and grayish; length, 7 mm greeni Dist. 



b". Head, pronotum, scutellum, and abdomen black; tegmina dark, smoky

 does not described the structural details of head, pronotum, and 

 tegmina, merely saying that in these particulars it is like malaya) .

PYTHAMIINAE 



Genus PYTHAMUS Melichar 



Pj'thamus melichari sp. nov. 



Head yellowish, vertex with a very broad, irregular, transverse 

 black band, a black spot at tip and one at each basal angle. Pro- 

 notum shining bronzy black, bluish pruinose laterally, the lateral 

 margin yellowish, this margin shortly angularly extending in- 

 wardly at 3 points, once at the posterior lateral angle, once in the 

 middle, and again behind the eyes. The pleura is almost entirely 

 yellowish. Front at upper angles and on either side at antennal 

 scrobes black-dotted. Scutellum black, shining, the lateral mar- 

 gins of posterior area yellowish. Tegmina black on inner half, 

 which is bluish pruinose at base, yeiloMdsh on outer half, the 

 veins all blackish and paler distally, distal half of apical area 

 fuliginous. Dorsum black with yellowish lateral margins. All 

 below yellow except apices of pygofers, which are black. In the 

 male the yellows are more intense. Length,' $ 5.5, 9 6.5 mm. 



Length of face across eyes nearly once and one half the width 

 (fig. 4, e). Front and clypeus shagreened; front not elevated 

 medially, but sharply carinate, the carina not extending on to 

 the clypeus ; lateral surfaces of front with subobsolete transverse 

 ridges, the lower half with indistinct submarginal brownish lines 

 at sides. Lorse and gense obscurely longitudinally rugose, the 

 latter without swollen outer margin. Clypeus somewhat more 

 than the length of front, strongly narrowed apically, the anterior 

 angles not thin and laminate. Ocellar sulci very large and 

 broad triangular, the inner points meeting but separated by a 

 carina, the lower angles extending nearly to antennal scrobes, 

 from whence a curved carina projects from the broken frontal
