MEMBRA ClDJE.

inner margins ; tegmina ample, with broad brown stains on the cubical margins ; 
small tarsi, neuration showing long areas, brocaded by parallel veins. 
I possess several fine examples, which are dark grey underneath. 
Expanse, 35 mm., or 20 x 8 mm. 
Habitat. —Brazil, Cayenne. 
HEMIPTYCHA ELAYA. 
(Plate XXIX. fig. 4.) 
Hemiptycha jlava, Fuirm. (?) l.c. p. 314. 
Concolorous ochreous yellow ; superhumerals large, broad at their bases, divergent 
at right angles to the medial, rather reddish pronotal carina; surface deeply punctured 
Seen from the back, the pronotum entirely covers the tegmina, and neither head, 
eyes, nor legs are visible ; tegmina and wings hyaline and greyish. Fairmaire’s 
description generally agrees with the above, but my insect shows no obscure fascia at 
the external borders. 
Expanse, 17 mm. 
Size, 10 x 12 mm. 
Habitat. —Brazil.

HEMIPTYCHA SPATULOSA, n.s. 
(Plate XXIX. fig. 3.) 
Large; pronotum with two large flattened suprahumeral processes, spread and 
curved at the tips ; a slight dorsal ridge runs to the tips of the fuscous yellow 
tegmina; surface shining, ochreous yellow, slightly spotted with brown, and 
punctured ; legs short, yellow, and ending with weak tarsi. 
Size, 17 x 14 mm. 
Habitat. —Brazil.

HEMIPTYCHA ALATA. 
Fairm. l.c. PI. VI. fig. 24. 
There are several species from Silliet, parts of India, and also from Malacca, which 
strongly resemble the species drawn by Fairmaire as Hemiptycha. They do not, 
however, answer to the venation of the tegmina as shown in my plate of 
Hemiptycha. They also are considerably smaller, and must be referred to the 
Centrotinse and will be described subsequently and figured.
