tive. The legs are moderately large, and the tibiae are non-spatulate. The tegmina 
are pale yellow, and follow the neuration of Bocydium, the genus subsequently 
described. The scutellum, of course, cannot be seen.

Pronotum large and projecting beyond the head, formed of two laminae united to 
a narrow dorsal plate, which gives the structure a wedge-like form. The reddish or 
yellow membrane is finely reticulated, and gives the appearance of a faded autumnal 
leaf. There is a lateral row of brown spots, and the apex is acute and brown. The 
anterior apex is slightly cleft. The legs are pale fuscous and slightly hairy. 
The inflated pronotum probably is connected with the respiratory apparatus of 
the insect, and it recalls the remarkable head of the great Surinam lantern fl y^Fulgora 
laternaria, which structure probably is also connected with the insect’s breathing 
organs.

There is a fine series in the Hope Collection. My figure is that of the male 
insect.

(Plate XLY. figs. 5, 5a.) 
Pronotum inflated and marked much as in the last species, but the posterior and 
the anterior apices are rounded instead of acute, as in Eda injtata. The whole insect 
is of a pale yellowish tint (perhaps green in life), with brcwn longitudinal and 
transverse nervures. The row of brown spots is rather differently disposed, the tail 
end is not fuscous, and the insect is smaller than (Eda injlata. It is possible that 
the example figured may prove to be Eda inermis of Fairmaire, p. 506. There is 
some difference in the colours of the species of this small but curious genus.
