guishable by the form of the protborax, by the structure, and by the pecu¬

recognises five species, of which two are now for the first time described, 
viz. :— 
1. IIestias Brunneriana, Saussure, Mel. Orthopt. i, 1871, 3me

llab. Moluccas ? 
3. Hestias pictipes, n. sp. 
$ 9 . Head with a minute horn shaped like that of II. Nrunneriana 
$. Organs of flight 9 not reaching, $ extending beyond, extremity of 
abdomen. Tegmina 9 with the marginal field opaque light yellowish 
green, the rest delicately hyaline ; wings with marginal field subopaque 
orange-yellow, the venation of the rest of the organ of the same colour 
narrowly lined with hyaline, and the meshes pale smoky. Pore coxae red- 
.violet especially internally, femora inside on the lower half jet-black with 
three distinct white sjiots in a longitudinal row, and with a narrow black 
strijie extending from the base along fully three-fourths of the length of the 
margin of the foliaceous expansion, the rest of the surface being rich 
red-violet. 
Length 9 about 19 millims , 3 17. 
The specimen of the male is somewhat bleached from long residence in 
spirit. 
Ilab. 9 Marble Rocks, near Jabalpur in the Central Provinces of 
India ; S , precise locality unknown. 
4. Hestias inermis, n. sp. 
9 . Head without a vestige of a horn, with the postocular tubercles by 
correlation reduced to low smooth and rounded elevations; behind the ocelli 
longitudinally deeply 4-sulcate. Organs of flight not reaching extremity of 
body; tegmina with the light opaque umber-brown marginal field pubes¬

half hyaline' and half opaque cream-coloured ; wings opaque lemon-yellow 
very broadly margined with dark brown, with the transverse veiulets lined 
with hyaline. 
Pore coxae jet-black inside, femora jct-hlack at base, whence this colour 
is continued for some distance as a marginal baud on to the foliaceous 
expansion. 
Length about 34 millims.
