NEW RECORDS & SPECIES OF MALAYAN MEMBRACIDAE. 209 



12. Anchonoides variegatus Funkhouser. 



Add — Locality: Sandakan, Borneo. 



Three males and one female. The unique type of the species 

 came from Singapore and it is most gratifying to find additional 

 specimens as well as a new locality recorded. 



13. Anchonoides serpentinus sp. nov. (Figs. 3 and 4). 



Entirely black with meagre white pubescence : posterior process 

 very strongly sinuate, apex suddenly acute ; suprahumeral horns 

 horizontal, very thin and sharp : scutellum entirely exposed : tegmina 

 hyaline with brown veins on apical three-fourths, basal fourth black, 

 coriaceous and punctate, second costal cell from the base black, 

 coriaceous, punctate and pubescent: undersurface of body black; 

 legs black with yellowish bands on second and third tibiae and 

 tarsi. 



Head subquadrangular, about as long as wide, black, roughly 

 sculptured, finely punctate, densely pubescent with whitish hairs; 

 base sinuately convex : eyes large, prominent, brown : ocelli large, 

 dark brown, farther from each other than from the eyes and situat- 

 ed slightly above an imaginary line drawn through centres of 

 eyes: clypeus twice as long as wide, projecting for two-thirds its 

 length below the inferior margins of the genae, black, finely punc- 

 tate, densely pubescent with sordid-white hairs, tip truncate, lateral 

 margins sinuate: inferior margins of genae having a slight angle 

 on each side about one-third the distance from the clypeus. 



Pronotum black, finely punctate, longitudinally striate with 

 grayish-white pubescence : metopidium sloping, punctate, with five 

 longitudinal stripes of whitish pubescence, one extending down 

 median line, one on each side just above suprahumeral horn and 

 another on each side between bases of suprahumeral horns and 

 humeral angles, smooth callosity above each eye; humeral angles 

 prominent and blunt: suprahumeral horns very thin and sharp, 

 arising from a point about midway between the crest of the dorsum 

 and the humeral angles and extending directly outward ; median 

 carina weakly percurrent : posterior process very strongly sinuate, 

 one high loop just above the scutellum. another just above internal 

 angle of tegmen, both loops high and bearing lateral carinae, the 

 posterior loop much swollen, tip suddenly acuminate, slender, sharp, 

 extending far beyond the abdomen and almost reaching apex of 

 tegmen ; scutellum entirely exposed black, punctate, sparingly 

 pubescent, the base upraised and swollen, the tip strongly bidentate. 



Tegmina hyaline for apical three-fourths : base black, cori- 

 aceous and punctured: internal angle and apical margin brown; 

 veins distinctly nodulate in central area and strongly brown in 

 apical area : second cell from the base on the costal margin very 

 strongly and sharply black, coriaceous, punctate and pubescent.
