MEMBRA C1DJE.

of an obscure brick-red colour and slightly sinuous; posterior end acute; underside 
dark brown ; abdomen with pale edges to the somites ; legs stout, the hind tibiae 
hirsute. This insect also recalls the sculpturing of Polyglypta, an allied genus. 
Size, 8x5 mm. 
Habitat. —Mozu. 
Figured from a specimen kindly lent from Mr. Rippon’s Collection. This insect 
hardly agrees with either Metheisa or Entylia. 
Genus : OXYGONIA.

Fowler thinks that Stabs above-named sub-division of the genus is unnecessary. 
Fairmaire names ten species, amongst which are Oxygonia rufipes, p. 301. 
0. chrysura, p. 302. 0. conica, p. 302, and O. pacifica. Of these he gives certain 
outlines of the pronotum, but the genus requires a revision. 
OXYGONIA ACCUMINATA, n.s. 
(Plate XL. figs. 2, 2a.) 
Colour ochreous-yellow. Pronotum rounded in front, and thus it rises above the 
shoulders into a sharp and thorn-like horn, similar to Umbonia. The posterior horn 
is nearly straight, and continued to a sharp apex which extends much beyond the tips 
of the tegmina. The whole surface is broken into parallel carinse, the hollows 
between which are pitted with brown depressions. Abdomen dark fuscous, the edges 
of the somites are pale. Legs oclireous and rather long. 
Size, 8x5 mm. Brazil (?) Mozu.

As probable synonyms I subjoin : 
Bilimekia styliformis, Fowl. l.c. Tab. VIII. figs. 9-9a, p. 127. 
Bilimekia minor, Fowl. l.c. p. 128. 
Genus : ADIPPE. Stal. 
Stal, l.c. Vet. Ak. Forh. 1867, p. 555. Fowler, l.c. p. 133. 
A distinct genus, with the pronotal ridge evenly rounded. Many species are 
brightly coloured, banded with yellow or spotted with dark brown. It includes some 
species of Fairmaire’s genus, Oxygonia.
