Synopsis of the species of Trobolophya. 
a 1 . Intraocular portion of vertex, on median line, less than one-third length 
of anteocular; viewed from side, lateral margin of vertex highly 
arched at base; outer anteapical cell long and narrow, inner ante- 
apical three times as long as broad (fig. 1, b) tegmina transversely 
banded melichari sp. nov. 
a 2 . Intraocular portion of vertex, on median line, about as long as ante- 
ocular; viewed from side, lateral margin of vertex not so highly 
arched at base; outer anteapical cell broad, inner little longer than 
broad (fig. 1, a) ; tegmina never transversely banded. 
b 1 . Angle between lateral margins of vertex and front, as viewed from 
side, more than a right angle, and with the black spot roundish, 
not reaching eye. 
c 1 . Clypeus, in side view, strongly raised above the level of the front. 
penang’ensis sp. nov. 
c 2 . Clypeus, in side view, not or very little raised above level of front. 
d 1 . Lateral spot of vertex large; veins of tegmina fuscopiceous. 
jacobsoni Mel. 
dr. Lateral spot of vertex small; veins of tegmina piceous black. 
montana sp. nov? 
b~. Angle between lateral margins of vertex and front, as viewed from 
side, a right angle or less, and with the black spot in the form 
of a large band, narrowing eyeward, and 1 nearly or quite reaching 
eye. 
c\ Vertex about as long as broad at base; smaller, paler species with 
dark fuscous veins philippinensis sp. nov. 
c 2 . Vertex distinctly longer than broad at base; larger, dark green 
species with piceous black veins benguetensis sp. nov. 
Trobolopliya melichari sp. nov.. Fig. 2, a, b. s 
Female.— Length, 5 millimeters. Pale greenish, legs stramin- 
eous, becoming entirely stramin- 
eous with a darker scutellum in 
drying. The lateral black marks 
on head show through on vertex 
as two parallel lateral lines on 
apical half and as black spots at 
basal angles. Tegmina hyaline, 
veins fuscous; a narrow, irregu- 
lar, curved, smoky band passes 
from stigma to near apex of 
clavus.
