comes strong and sharp on posterior process. Tegmina fuscous 

 hyaline, marked with more or less irregular fascia of ferruginous. 



Length, 6 to 7 mm. ; maximum width, 3 to 3.5 mm. 



Philippine Islands (Stal). 



Cryptaspidia obtusiceps Stal. 



Cryptaspidia obtusiceps Stal, Hem. Phil. (1870), 730. 



Cryptaspidia obtusiceps is known to me only from the original 

 description, which follows. It is apparently very close to C. 

 impressa and is to be distinguished chiefly by the less convex head 

 as suggested in the key. Stal describes it after C. impressa 

 as follows: 



Praecedenti simillima et maxime affinis, differt capite anterius inter 

 oculos sensim obtuse rotundato, fronte obtusissima, deorsum baud promi- 

 nula. ? Long. 6-7, lat. 3-3^ mill.
