MEMBRACID/E. 
Size, 7x3 min. 
Habitat. —Bugaba, at 1500 feet elevation. 
Drawn from a specimen in the Fowler Collection. 
TRAGOPA BUGABENSIS, Fowler. 
(Plate XXXII. fig. 13.) 
Fowler, l.c. Tab. YI. figs. 19-19a, 19b, p. 85. 
Small; shining; unicolorous, but individual specimens vary from amber-yellow, 
through brown, to black ; humeral angles blunt and indistinct; tegmina fusco-hyaline, 
with a broad brown margin; legs and underside testaceous. 
Size, 3x2 mm. 
11abitat .—Pan am a, B ugaba. 
Drawn from Fowler’s private Collection. 
This and the previous species is figured under the same magnifying power; the 
figures illustrate the apparent disproportion of size to the eye, when drawn under an 
increase of only double the linear amplification. 
TRAGOPA SCUTELLARIS, n.s. 
(Plate XXXIII. figs. 1, la.) 
General colour warm brown ; pronotum covered with numerous ochreous confluent 
spots or striations ; shoulders wide apart and dilated; pronotum seen from above shield¬ 
shaped, with a central carina and with a dark brown stain or spot above each of the 
short suprahumerals. There is an insect in the B.M. Collection standing in the 
name of T. fulvovaria (Fairm. ?) which has some affinity with T. scutellaris, but 
Fairmaire’s description does not tally with the above (l.c. page 488). It cannot be 
said to be d'un noir bronze, and there are no large ferruginous spots on each side. 
Size, 5x4 mm. 
Habitat. —Amazons. 
CHELYOIDEA NITIDA, n.g. 
(Plate XXXIII. figs. 2, 2a, 2b.) 
Globose ; ver} r broad between the shoulders ; much narrower posteriorly ; two 
chitinous pronotal ear-like Haps occur above the apparent insertions of the front 
legs, which are distinctive of the genus. 
C. vitida from the front and dorsal aspects suggests the form of a tortoise, or 
perhaps a shining black coccinella. Colour bronzy black, rather irridescent, but the 
head is of a black steel-blue. Eyes large. These and the underside of the abdomen 
are rufous; legs pubescent; proboscis reaches to the second coxae. There is a single
