anterior tarsi blackish, Eyes wine-red. A large conspìcuous sii very spot 

 at the apical margins of the intermediate and posterior ambulacra. 



Apparently closely allied to B. fuscinervis Berg, but differs in the 

 proportions of the antennae, the form of the pronotum etc. 



8. Paravelia inveruglas sp. n, 



Apterous. Very hairy. Head narrowly sulcate longitudinàlly in the 

 eentre: first segment of the antennae incrassate , curved, i l 1 th Ionger 

 than the second, which is */ a ionger than the third, the fourth fusiform, 

 4 / 4 Ionger than the 3 rd . Rostrum reaching to the base of* the mesosternum. 

 Pronotum subcarinate longitudinàlly, rather coarsely punctured ; slightly 

 constricted about the middle at the lateral margins, base rounded. An- 

 terior tibia i l iQ Ionger than the femur, and twice as long as the second, 

 which is twice as long as the first. Intermediate tibia 1 / 5 tl1 ionger than 

 the femur and 7/ 11 Ionger than the tarsus, third tarsal segment 1 / 2 Ionger 

 than the second, the latter 3 i j s times Ionger than the first. Posterior 

 tibia i j 2 Ionger than the femur, and 2 i j 3 Ionger than the tarsus, second 

 and third tarsal segments subequal, each about 4 d / 2 times as long as 

 the first. 



d" Apical margin of the 6 th ventral segment roundly, somewhat pro- 

 foundly emarginate, 



Length 7V 4 mill., breadth 2 mill. 



Pun ; Tulcan. Nymph from Harro. 



Blackish; antennae, rostrum (except black apical segment) and legs 

 reddish-black ; pronotum pale violet-brown, margins reddish-violet. 



Closely allied to P. boliviano. Breddin, but larger and differing in 

 the proportions of the appendages. 



9, Rhagovelìa Festae sp. n. 

 Apterous. Fusiform, a little dilated. 



Head anteriorly truncate, with a deeply-impressed inverted arrow (V) 

 on the notocephalon, a large impressed point on each side of the po- 

 sterior margin of the head, Head and nota minutely punctured. First 

 antennal segment curved, one-half Ionger than second , which is one- 

 fourth Ionger than the 3 rd ; 4 tXl fusiform, one-half Ionger than 3 rd . Pe- 

 nultimate segment of rostrum reaching beyond the base of prosternum. 

 Pronotum not cannate, distinctly sutured off from mesonotum (1), the 

 latter rounded basally. covering the mesonotum (except basally at the 

 sides). Mesosternum with a curved, diagonal carina extending from the 

 intero-basal margin of anterior ambulacra almost to the base of inter- 

 mediate ambulacra. Anterior coxae very large & round, femora a little 

 shorter than tibiae, about 4 times as long as tarsi. 



(1) This, as I shall show later, is not a speciflc character, but it is as well 

 to note it here.
