Baker: The Genus Trobolophya 
303 
all other known species of the genus in form of head, venation, 
and coloration, and constitutes a distinct section of the genus. 
Named for Dr. L. Melichar, the founder of the genus. 
Trobolophya penangensis sp. nov. Fig. 3, a, b. 
Female. — Length, 6 millime- 
ters. Head and legs stramineous, 
thorax sanguineous, abdomen pale 
green; lateral spots of head 
scarcely showing through on ver- 
tex ; anterior tibise with outer 
border piceous. Tegmina hya- 
line, veins fuscous. 
Penang Island, Straits Settle- 
ments (coll. Baker). Near to 
T. jacobsoni but distinct in form 
of clypeus and in coloration. 
Trobolophya jacobsoni Mel. 
Melichar’s detail drawings (pi. 3, fig. 1, lc) are very diagram- 
matic. For instance, the drawing shows the lateral margins 
of vertex parallel throughout, which is not true for any species 
of the genus. Also, the position of submedian keels of scutel- 
lum are never as shown. Melichar does not mention, or show 
in his drawing, that the narrow caudal appendage of scutellum 
is separated by a distinct transverse carina connecting the pos- 
terolateral margins of scutellum; the caudal moiety is more or 
less concave and possibly represents a postscutellum. The ver- 
tex is nearly as long as broad, if the length is measured on the 
median line only ; but Melichar evidently measured it at the side, 
or length over all, since he says “vertex once and a half as long 
as wide at base.” 
Trobolophya rnontana sp. nov. Fig. 
Female. — Length, 7 millime- 
ters. Body deep green, head and 
legs stramineous ; frontal and scu- 
tellar carinae and outer margins 
of fore tibiae piceous; spots on 
sides of head scarcely showing 
through on vertex. Tegmina 
hyaline or slightly milky clouded, 
longitudinal veins piceous, costa 
and cross veins pale fuscous. 
Male. — Length, 6 millimeters.
