BOLBONOTA PLICATA, n.s. 
(Plate IX. figs. 6, 6a.)* 
Small, robust; general colour grey-black or slate-grey ; pronotum thrown into 
folds, the middle portion plicated and notched ; the posterior end blunt, and reaching 
over about two-thirds the abdomen ; legs black, with small yellow spots ; tibire of 
the second and third pair strongly serrated, but not spatulate ; abdomen stout, and 
distinctly ringed ; tegmina short, rounded at the tips, with a corrugated limbus ; 
apical areas four or five, and in colour grey, the rest of the membrane brownish, with 
six or seven yellow spots, which give the disc a brocaded appearance ; wings rounded 
at the tips and with fine veining enclosing four apical areas. 
Size, 3 x 2 mm. 
Habitat. —Cachabe, Ecuador. 
BOLBONOTA FLAVOPUNCTA, n.s. 
Very like the preceding, but the pronotal carinse could not be clearly seen in the 
specimen examined ; tips of the tegmina pale ochreous, with five fulvous spots in the 
middle of the disc, and four others nearer the base ; the rest of the membrane rich 
brown ; tibia; of the hind legs serrated ; no tibiae are spatulate ; eyes large; rostrum 
as long as the body ; tegmina without limbi. 
Size, 4x2 mm. 
From the Hope Coll. (Miers). 
Habitat (?) 
BOLBONOTA GRISEA, n.s. 
(Plate IX. fig. 7.) 
Smaller than B. luzonica, the next species to be described ; colour ashy-grey ; 
pronotum without dorsal carinations ; tegmina one-third pale from the tips, the other 
two-thirds dark brown ; abdomen with the segments edged with white. 
The legs both of this and of B. tuzonica show but little of the spatulate character 
seen in the ordinary species of Bolbonota. 
Size in expanse of the wings, 6x3 mm. 
Habitat. —Philippines, H. Cuming (Hope Coll.). 
* The different appearance and the non-spatulate tibia; of this and the following species may 
suggest a new genus, called provisionally, Xanihosticta. On account of the facies of this insect, it is 
here ranged under Bolbonota, but see Pterygia Jlavopuncta, footnote, page 7.3, where a similar example 
is figured, and more fully described.
