MEMBRA CIDJbl 
The comparatively simple neuration of the tegmina of this genus may be noted. 
It is much less complex than in Ceresa, though both genera are ranged under the 
same sub-family Smiliinse. 
POLYGLYPTA MACULATA, Burm. 
(Plate XXXVIII. figs. 3, 3a, 3b.) 
R. maculata, Fairm. l.c. p. 297. P . flcivo-maculata, Am. et Serv. l.c. p. 541, t. 9, fig. 9. P. dorsalis 
var. Still, l.c. p. 240. 
Fusiform ; dark brown in colour, with two broad yellow shoulder patches on each 
side, and two smaller yellow patches near the posterior part of the pointed pronotum ; 
the horn in front is slightly curved upwards >' the male and female much resemble 
each other; the carinae are difficult to count, and number from nine to eleven; the 
sulci between these ribs are deeply pitted; the pronotum almost wholly covers the 
tegmina, which are ferruginous; legs ochreous yellow ; eyes large; tegmina hyaline, 
but fuscous at the costa. 
Size, 15x3 mm. 
Habitat. —Mexico, Orizaba, Colombia, Bogota. 
POLYGLYPTA STRIGATA, n.s. 
(Plate XXXVIII. figs. 4, 4a-c.) 
In general appearance like P. maculata, but the yellow patches are restricted to a 
broken bright yellow carina over each of the shoulders, and a shorter stripe above it; 
pronotal horn straight and pointed ; there are three side carinse and one central, but the 
number perhaps is not constant; lower part pilose at the base of the rostrum ; the 
eyes are just seen from the dorsal aspect; legs dark brown, with yellow tarsi; 
tegmina entirely dark fuscous. 
Size, 15 x 3 mm. 
This insect from the Wollaston Collection bas a label “Java” affixed to it; but 
this locality seems to require confirmation ; otherwise, it is unnamed. 
POLYGLYPTA DORSALIS, Burm. 
(Plate XXXVIII. fig. 5.) 
Fowl. l.c. Tab. VIII. figs. 5, 5a, 5b, var. (?) Polyylypta dorsalis, Burm. l.c. p. 178. P. sicula 
Am. et Serv. P. pallipes, Burm. P.nigella, Fairm. l.c. p. 298. P.fusca, Butl. P. hordacea, Butl. 
From these synonyms, given in the B.C.A., we may see the present difficulty of 
deciding what are species. Fowler even thinks that P. maculata (Fairm.) and 
P. tricolor (Butl.) ought to be included in the list. 
General colour ochreous yellow ; pronotum with one central and four shining 
parallel and lateral carinse; dorsal ridge dark brown or black ; on each side black 
stains, which on a general view suggest three circular marks, like rings; tegmina
