Recent collecting by Prof. C. F. Baker, of Los Banos, in some 
of the hitherto unexplored parts of the Philippine Islands has 
yielded new species of Membracidae so remarkable in appear- 
ance that it seems desirable to give them a place in the litera- 
ture of the family as soon as possible after their discovery. 
Six of these new species are here described, two of which 
are so peculiar in character as to demand new genera for their 
accommodation. 
All of these insects were collected by Professor Baker, to 
whom I am greatly indebted for the privilege of studying much 
interesting Philippine material. 
Genus CLONAUCHEOTA novum 
Near Hypsauchenia Germ., but differing greatly in the shape 
and position of the pronotal elevation which is laterally branched. 
Scutellum present but entirely concealed by the pronotum; 
tibiae foliaceous; .sides of thorax extended to form two small 
teeth; tegmina largely coriaceous and almost entirely opaque, 
venation very irregular ; hind wings with four apical areas ; an- 
terior process of pronotum widely, horizontally extended at top 
to form a heavy trilobed expansion; posterior process elevated 
to form a high, flattened, foliaceous plate, the tip extending al- 
most to the anterior process; head foliaceous; clypeus strongly 
trilobed. 
This genus may be separated at once from the genera Hyp- 
sauchenia Germ., Pyrgonota Stal, Pyrgauchenia Bredd., Pyr- 
golyrium Bredd., and Pyrgophyllium Bredd., all of which are 
closely related, by the remarkable development of the anterior 
process, which is so greatly modified at the distal end that it 
forms a central bulbous lobe with a heavy swollen horn on 
each side. 
The genus is erected for the accommodation of the following 
species which is proposed as the type:
