ment are outwardly concavely sinuate near base, sub-acutely 

 rounded at apex and moderately straight inwardly ; the body is 

 very broad and robust ; the anterior-lateral margins of the pro- 

 notum have a very small obscure , blunt tooth , directed poste- 

 riorly ; the tegmina are broad. 



Leng. excl. tegm. 34 millim. ; exp. tegm. 110 millim. 



Hab. British New Guinea, Moroka (Loria). 



This species must systematically be placed near the preceding 

 one here described. By the markings of the tegmina it much 

 resembles Pomponio, graecina^ Dist. a Bornean species.

Tegmina and wings subhyaline, slightly infuscated, the vena- 

 tion piceous ; the bases of the second , third , and fifth apical 

 areas slightly infuscated, and a series of small fuscous marginal 

 spots situate on the apices of the apical veins. 



The rostrum reaches the apices of the posterior coxae; the 

 opercula are long, about reaching the penultimate segment of 

 the abdomen, moderately straight inwardly and outwardly, their 

 apices convexely rounded. 



Leng. excl. tegm. 25 millim. ; exp. tegm. 85 millim. 



Hab. British New Guinea, Port Moresby (Loria). 



A species to be recognised by its dark colouration, and most 

 nearly allied to C. recedens, Walk., one of Wallace's captures 

 in New Guinea.

 and legs black, posterior tarsi ochraceous; eyes dull ochraceous; 

 body above faintly greyishly pilose. 



Tegmina hyaline, slightly infuscated, the venation piceous, the 

 bases and apices of the apical areas more or less infuscated, the 

 bases transversely, the apices in a series of longitudinal marginal 

 spots. Wings hyaline the venation piceous. 



The rostrum about reaches the apices of the posterior coxae. 



Leng. 9 excl. tegm. 45 millim.; exp. tegm. 164 millim.
