DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES OF RHYNCHOTA. By W. L. DISTANT. 
[From the 1 Annals and Magazine of Natural History.’] 
HETEROPTEEA. 
Family Coreidjs. 
Prionolomia nigrovittata, n. sp. 
Cinnamomeous ; antennae, a central longitudinal line to pronotum, margins of scutellum (narrowly), 
outer margins of clavus (broadly), sternal sutures, lateral margins of mesonotum, metanotum, and 
abdomen, and the posterior tibiae blackish ; membrane dark brown. 
Antennae with a little less than the apical half of fourth joint ochraceous ; first and fourth joints 
subequal in length, second joint a little longer than third. Pronotal angles strongly, upwardly, and 
sublunately produced, their apices subacute, their margins finely serrate. Rostrum reaching the inter¬ 
mediate coxae. 
d . Posterior femora strongly incrassated, with three small but distinct black tubercles above, a 
strong black spine beneath at about centre and two smaller subapical spines of the same colour ; tibiae 
flattened and channelled, and inwardly toothed at about one third from apex. 
Long. 27 millim., exp. pronot. angul. 13 millim. 
HOMOPTERA. 
Family Cicadid^e. 
Leptopsaltria mascula, n. sp. 
. Head, pronotum, and mesonotum greenish ochraceous ; head with the margins of front, anterior 
margins of vertex, inner margins of eyes, and the area of the ocelli black ; pronotum and mesonotum 
with the following black markings :—pronotum with two central longitudinal fascise, widened anteriorly 
and rounded and united posteriorly, the incisures, a large spot on lateral margins and three spots on 
posterior margin, the central one smallest and linear; mesonotum with five fasciae, one central, widened 
and somewhat cordate posteriorly, an abbreviated one on each side, followed by another completely 
crossing disk, two small spots in front of the cruciform elevation. Abdomen castaneous, the segmental 
margins pitchy and a spot of the same colour at base. Head and thorax beneath, legs and opercula 
greenish ochraceous, face with black striae, head spotted with black, apices of the tibiae and tarsi blackish. 
Abdomen beneath castaneous, with the tubercles and apex black. Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, the 
venation ochraceous; tegmina with the apex slightly infuscated, a small black and ochraceous spot at 
base of upper ulnar area and the transvei’se veins at bases of second and third apical areas darkly 
infuscated. 
The rostrum reaches the posterior coxae, the opercula are angulated, the outer and posterior margins 
nearly straight. 
d. Long. excl. tegm. 28 millim., exp. tegm. 78 millim. 
Allied to L. samia, Walk. 
Cosmopsaltria montivaga, n. sp. 
Allied to C. lauta, Dist., but differing by its larger size, broader and more robust body, the absence 
of the sublateral fascia of the pronotum, and the presence of an oblique black pronotal spot behind the 
eyes; the markings of the mesonotum smaller and the sublateral fascia curved and not extending to 
anterior margin. Opercula broader at base, not so concave internally, much more narrowly black at 
apex and inner margin, and crossed at centre by a transverse dark castaneous fascia. 
Long. 40 millim., exp. tegm. 120 millim.
