TRIQUETEA 1NSIPIDA, n.s. 
(Plate XIX, figs. 1, la.) 
Colour concolorous, dingy-brown with a reddish shade; coarsely punctured and 
blotched with darker stains. Supra-humerals acute, divergent, and directed forwards. 
Metopidium perpendicular, with an obscure darker patch between the horns ; dorsal 
horn erect, but the point directed rather forwards ; two small obscure brown spots 
occur just above the lower marginal edge of the pronotum ; tegmina with dark 
membranes and yellow prominent nervures ; legs dusky. 
My figure is from an insect grouped with others in the Hope Collection which is 
labelled “ very near T. veru/a yet it is doubtful if it really belongs to that 
species. Provisionally the above name is given to it. 
Size, 12 x 7 mm. 
Genus : HOPLOPHOPA. 
Germ. Bum. Amyot et Serv; Fairm. l.c. p. 269 (1846); Fowler, l.c. j). 38 (1894). 
This genus comprises certain insects, furnished with short and broad pronota, which 
are scutiform ; that is, the sides are nearly parallel for a certain distance, and then 
narrow to a sharp point to the lower apex. This scarcely reaches to the end of the 
body. The supra-humeral processes are short and blunt, with no dorsal horn as 
seen in (Jmbonia. 
Head narrow; the tegmina longer than the pronotum, and furnished with more 
or less oblong areas bounded by thick nervures ; the membranes are free and trans¬ 
parent ; legs prismatic; the hind tarsi are much shorter than the others ; body some¬ 
times hairy. 
Those insects which were comprised in Fairmaire’s genus Hoplophora, and are 
furnished with procephalic horns, arc now merged into Platycotis and the allied 
genera. 
HOPLOPHORA SANGU1NOSA. 
(Plate XIX. figs. 3, 3a.) 
Fairm. l.c. p. 270; Walk. l.c. p. 511. 
Pronotum viewed from the back flat and scutiform with a marginal carina 
Abdomen brown, large and ringed, with the last three segments ochreous-yellow ; 
the whole body and the legs finely hirsute ; colour of the pronotum pinkish-red, 
with a black streak from the metopidium which runs backwards to the apex ; fore 
part ochreous.
