X. D. 6 Funkhouser : Review of the Philippine Membracidse 381 



original description that in Emphusis the suprahumeral horns 

 are absent.^^ Distant, however, who presumably had Buckton's 

 type before him, states that the suprahumeral horns are well 

 developed but directed subhorizontally and recurved apically.^* 

 The genus is close to CentroUjpus, but differs in having the 

 anterior part of the pronotum much more elevated and swollen 

 and in having the anterior margin of the suprahumeral horns 

 in a continuous line with the semicircular anterior margin of 

 the metopidium. The hind wings have four apical areas, the 

 tegmina five apical areas. To this genus must be assigned the 

 following very remarkable species: 



Emphusis bakeri sp. nov. Plate I, fig. 7, a and 6. 



Large, handsome, brilliantly marked. Head and pronotum 

 black, the front of head, sides of metopidium, median dorsal 

 area between pronotal horns, and lateral margin of pronotum 

 as far as posterior process densely covered with snowy white 

 tomentose excrescence. Pronotum rising thick and high with 

 broad, widespreading suprahumeral horns. Dorsal margin of 

 pronotum sloping roundly to posterior process, which is curved, 

 decurrent, and extends to tips of tegmina. Tegmina black and 

 punctate at base and costal margin; hyaline in middle; red 

 bordered with brown at tip. The jet-black abdomen shows 

 through the hyaline portion of the tegmina. Legs and feet fus- 

 cous-ferruginous. The marked contrast of the black, white, and 

 red gives the insect a striking appearance. This is the largest 

 membracid thus far reported from the Philippines. 



Head longer than broad, black, deeply but not closely punc- 

 tate; a broad, white, tomentose vertical band extending from 

 base of head to extremity of clypeus and occupying the space 

 between the ocelli the width of the clypeus; lateral margin of 

 head strongly sinuate ; eyes large, dark gray mottled with brown ; 

 ocelli pearly, much farther from each other than from the eyes 

 and situated above an imaginary line extending through center 

 of eyes ; antennae long and bristlelike ; clypeus three-lobed, pilose. 

 Pronotum strongly elevated, the disk appearing cylindrical from 

 a front view, but extended posteriorly to form a subtriangular 

 plate behind ; suprahumeral horns arising from top of pronotum, 

 subhorizontal, curving downward and backward to an extent 

 which continues the line of the anterior margin of the pronotum ; 

 posterior process long, decurved, gradually acuminate, foUow-
