segment three or four times as long as first, third a trifle more 

 than fourth, and about seven times as long as second. Labium 

 short. Pronotum transverse, minute, tricarinate, scutellum 

 visible from above; laterally, however, the pronotum is foli- 

 aceously dilated, extending posteriorly a little further than 

 scutellum, laterally curving around inwards so as to form (as 

 seen from above) a hollow curved tube on each side, the sides of 

 which do not quite meet internally; these two tubes meet 

 anteriorly, extending beyond the head; posteriorly they are 

 remote, fully displaying scutellum. They are largely reticulate, 

 but not carinate, the veins of the reticulation being minutely multi- 

 spinose. Tegmina foliaceous, longitudinally depressed on sub- 

 costal area. Costal margin rectangularly dilated basally, apical 

 margin obliquely, somewhat roundedly, truncate, extending far 

 beyond apex of abdomen. Subcostal area biareolate, many of 

 the veins minutely multispinose. 



55. N. dicysta, sp.nov. (Plate iv., figs. 8-9). 



Head, pronotum and scutellum greyish; antennae and legs pale 

 yellow. Tegmina and foliaceous part of pronotum hyaline, veins 

 partly concolorous, partly fuscous, spinules blackish. Tegmina 

 with a small dark clouding close to base, and an outwardly 

 curved stripe on apical half of tegmen exteriorly. Tarsi black. 

 Length 3 mill.

Nesocysta, gen.nov. 



Allied to the last, but the lateral lobes of the pronotum are 

 remote anteriorly and, while hollow, are not swollen out, but 

 appear as if somewhat crumpled; also, while in Nesocypselas the 

 longitudinal opening of each is in the nota, in Nesocysta they 

 open around the underside of the head. Labium extending just 

 beyond middle coxae. Second segment of antennae about twice 

 and one-half as long as first, third twice as long as fourth, which 

 is nearly five times as long as second. Tegmina narrower than
