4. LyrAMORPHA ramifkra. 
Testacea; caput postice nigrum; anlennce picece ; thorax sparse et 
suhtililer punctatus, transverse substriatus, lateribus piceis rectis 
oblique strintis, angidis posticis ohtusis bene determinatis., disco 
viridescenie ; scutellum apice rotnndalum, lateribus apieem versus 
luteis ; abdomen purpureo-cganeuin, connexivo nigro luteo-maculato, 
segmento npicali sexualia non superante ; alai anlicce ferrugincce,venis 
testaceis ramosis, membrana tenea. 
Testaceous, elliptical, shining. Head smooth, obliquely striated on 
each side in front; hind border black ; lateral lobes meelinj; beyond the 
middle lobe. Eyes prominent. Rostrum extending to the middle coxae ; 
lip black. Antennae j)iceous ; second joint shorter than the third. Thorax 
pale green except in front and on each side, thinly and minutely punctured, 
transversely and very slightly striated; sides piceous, straight, obliquely 
striated, hind angles prominent, obtuse. Scutellum attenuated, punctured 
like the thorax, luteous on each side towards the tip, which is rounded. 
Abdomen above purplish blue ; connexivum black, with luteous spots, 
hind angles of the apical abdominal segment not extending beyond the 
anal appendages. Legs slender ; tarsi piceous. Fore wings ferruginous ; 
veins testaceous; the third longitudinal vein emitting on its fore side some 
mostly ramose branches to the disk; membrane aeneous. Length of the 
body 1 1 lines. 
It differs much in the structure of the abdomen from the typical form 
of Lyramorpha, and will probably be considered as representing a new 
genus.
