MEMBRA CIDJE.

The insects are small, but they may be recognised generally by the deep notched 
character of the dorsal ridge of the pronotum “ profondement echancre.” 
Fairmaire describes the tegmina as having three basal, and two small discoidal 
areas, with the third apical area furcate. He figures five species in outline. (PI. V. 
fig. 28 to 32.)

Procephalon erect, sharp, and thin as seen from the front, but broad and notched 
by the profile view; the dorsum is furnished with a squarish truncated hump; general 
colour warm ochreous-red, with a broad yellow transverse band or fascia on the 
posterior pronotum, with distinct carinations ; legs stout and yellow; the underside 
fuscous. My figure may be considered as typical of the species, which nevertheless, 
as before noted, is very variable. It is drawn from a British Museum example. 
Size, 5x4 mm. 
Habitat .—New York and North America.

Fowler enters this insect as a synonym of E. sinuata, and it certainly has very 
much the facies of that insect. 
One feature of the genus is the pale transverse band on the pronotum, which, 
however, is much more developed in some species than others. Walker’s insect 
shows this band broken into white isolated patches. The colour is concolorous 
brown; the hind legs are almost spatulate and yellow; the tegmina are hyaline, 
with yellow neuration; the areas are peculiar, and rather complex in venation at the 
apices. 
I think the insect is probably only a variety of E. sinuata, in which Fowler 
concurs. 
Size, 5 x 3 mm.
