Physatoehila biseriata n. sp. 
(Plate XXXITT, figure 5.) 
Head armed with two short adpressed spines basally at sides, a median 
(generally darker) spine, and two in front, close together, the three latter shorter 
and semi -erect ; antennae m oderately long, subcontiguous at the base, segment TT 
slightly shorter than the first, both short ; 111 long and filiform ; IV clavate, slightly 
pubescent, about as long as the first and second conjoined ; bucculae rather 
prominent, finely reticulate, closed anteriorly, from side view rectangular in front : 
the rostrum reaches to the posterior coxa). Pronotum tricarinate, the anterior 
margin slightly sinuate, about the same width as the head across eyes ; vesicle low, 
areolate, keeled dorsallv, from side view slightly eonvexly curved ; paranota biseriate 
areolate, adpressed to sides ; disc moderately convex, finely and closely punctate ; 
posterior angle with somewhat circular areolae. Elytra ovate, broadest at the middle, 
smoothly rounded posteriorly ; costal membrane biseriate, the outer row somewhat 
larger than the inner ; triseriate in some specimens opposite the apex of discoidal 
area ; costal area biseriate, discoidal area rather large with six rows of areolae. the 
outer boundary sinuate ; the areolae in all the areas are rather small and circular. 
General colour dull brown. Pronotum. sutural area, and an obscure transverse 
elytral fascia, fuscous ; head including eyes, antennal segment IV, and a nitid spot 
on each side at base of collum, black ; pronotal and elytral carinse, sordid whitish 
mottled with brown ; legs and antennae testaceous brown, segments I and II slightly 
darker than ill ; underside dark brownish black. Length 3125 mm. : breadth 
1-3 mm. 
Holotype. — Brookfield , Q., August (H. Hacker). He. 3364 . 
P aratypes. — Same data, and October (H. Hacker). 
Physatoehila uniseriata n. sp. 
(Plate XXXIII, figure 7.) 
Head spines similar to those of P. biseriata ; the antennal segments are also 
similar ; the rostrum reaches to the intermediate coxae. Pronotum narrowed and 
truncate anteriorly, the vesicle obsolete, but collum reticulate and slightly raised, 
from side view decli vous towards the anterior margin ; disc finely punctate ; posterior 
angle reticulated ; lateral angles rounded, less prominent than in the previous species ; 
paranota biseriate areolate, adpressed, the areolae moderately large. Elytra with 
strong carinse bounding areas ; costal membrane narrow, uniseriate throughout : 
costal area biseriate ; discoidal area with 5 fi irregular row r s of small rounded areolae. 
General colour pale whitish ochraceous with a suffused fuscous fascia across 
the middle of the elytra occupying all the discoidal area except the extremities, but 
generally paler centrally ; an obscure fuscous streak on each side of the sutural 
area, extending from base ; pronotal carinse pale at each extremity, concolorous on the 
disc which is ochraceous brown ; a nitid spot on each side at the base of collum, in 
which the lateral carinse terminate, head, antennal segment IV and the mesosternum, 
black ; collum, paranota, bucculse, pale ochraceous ; legs, antennae, and the abdomen 
beneath brownish ochraceous. Length 3 mm. ; breadth M25 mm.
