93. Edessa globulifera. 
Prasina, siibius testacea; caput transverse striatum, testaceo pallido 
variiim; antennce rufce; thorax aspere pun ctatus, unlice testaceus, 
cornubus cylindricis subarcuatis antice subfiexis apice nigris et sub- 
globosis lalitudine basali plus duplo longioribus ; ventris latera 
viridia ; pedes teslacei, libiis tarsisque rnfis, femoribus anlerioribus 
supra piceis ; alee anticce rufce, venis testaceis ramosis. 
Grass-green, testaceous beneath. Head mostly pale testaceous, trans- 
versely striated on each side. Eyes piceous. Rostrum ferruginous. An- 
tenna) red ; second joint as long as the third. Thorax thinly and roughly 
punctured, mostly pale testaceous in front, transversely striated on each 
side; horns cylindrical, slightly curved and inclined forward, slightly 
notched on the hind side, more than twice longer than their breadth at the 
base, black towards the tips, which are slightly globose. Scutelluin 
attenuated, acute, punctured like the thorax. Abdomen green on each side 
beneath ; hind angles of the segments successively more elongated and 
acute; those of the apical segment not dentate. Legs testaceous ; tibiae 
and tarsi red; anterior femora piceous above. Fore wings red, thickly and 
minutely punctured, with testaceous ramose veins; membrane aeneous- 
brown. Length of the body il lines. 
The character which distinguishes E, antica from E. cervus will also 
distinguish this species, and il may be distinguished from E. antica by its 
thoracic horns, which are more slender towards their tips.

94. Edessa ductor. 
Prasina, subtus testacea ; caput pallide testaceum ; antenna rufce ; thorax 
subtiliter punctatus, antice testaceus, cornubus nigris acutis basi 
pallidis latitudine basali duplo longioribus ; sculellum testaceo plagi- 
atum ; abdomen apice spinosum ; pedes lutei. 
Grass-green, testaceous beneath. Head pale testaceous, nearly smooth. 
Eyes pale brown. Antennae red; second joint as long as the third; fourth 
about twice the length of the third. Thorax and sculellum thickly and 
minutely punctured. Thorax mostly pale testaceous and smooth in front, 
transversely striated along each side; horns acute, directly diverging, black 
except towards their base, twice longer than their breadth at the base. 
Sculellum attenuated, acute, with some testaceous patches. ‘Pectus and 
under side of the abdomen with transverse green lines, which are mostly on 
the sutures. Hind borders of the abdominal segments successively more 
elongated and acute, those of the apical segment forming spines. Legs 
luieous. Fore wings more minutely punctured than the thorax; membrane 
aeneous-brown. Length of the body 10^ lines. 
The shorter and more slender horns of the thorax distinguish it from 
E. longispina, and the apical spines of the abdomen are stouter.
