L. ancora, Germ. ? <J. 
This insect is more brightly coloured than the female which is drawn in 
Plate xliv., fig. 4. 
The tegmina are strongly fuscous at their bases, leaving the disc of the wing 
uncoloured, convex and shining like talc ; the apices are pale fuscous or dark ochreous, 
with a sinuous fine brown stripe as seen in the female; the abdomen is bright yellow, 
ringed and pointed, with a large genital plate or pygofer; the pronotum is curved, 
and much thickened below. 
Expanse, 12 x 6 mm.

LYCODERES MITRATUS, Germ. 
(Plate XLIV. figs. 5, 5a.) 
Fairm. l.c. PI. III. fig. 25, p. 52:1. 
Large; rich brown, with a violet glance of light; abdomen rosy; pronotum 
elevated above the head, into a hammer-shaped protuberance, inflated and pointed 
at the apices ; but produced backwards into a foliaceous flattened shell, free from the 
abdomen; tegmina partly hyaline, with five large apical areas; the apical border 
broadly warm fuscous ; neuration black and limbus none. The pronotum shows 
obscure veining like that of a leaf, and in this respect it recalls the genus (Eda; 
legs warm brown ; the hind tibiae spurred before the joints of the tarsi. (Guerin.) 
Fairmaire points out that this insect formerly described as L. sjjino/ce, is the female 
of the above L. mitraius. My figure also is a female. 
Size, 11x7 mm.
