Genus.— CVRENE, JVestw. 
Corpus breve crassum abdomine coojpresso. Caput froiite couico longo, porrecto, apice acuto, 
supm ad latera carinatum, cariitis ante apicera oblileratis, postice ad prothoraceiu extensis. 
Oculi magni laterales subtus emarginati (fig. 3 a, 3 b). Ocelli nulli. Anteimaj parvce 
sub oculos insertai. Prorauscis mutilata. Prothorax mesothoracis longitudine, disco 
punctis duobus in medio impressus. Hcmelytra coriacca opaca homogenea convexa laia, 
margine antico sinnato apice rotiindato, angulo posticoacuto; vcnis parum ramosis. Pedes 
breves robusti, tibiis posticis curvaiis, intus versus apicem S-spinosis (fig. 3 e). Abdomen 
apice truncate in lobos duos terminatuni, appendiculo tenui erccto apice concavo instruc- 
turn. (Fig. 3rf.) 
The entire surface of the hemelytra of this new Fulgorideous 
genus is covered with an immense number of minute circular 
elevated areas, visible only under a lens. I have observed nothing 
similar in any other Fulgorideous insect. When at i-est, the wings 
are carried almost perpendicularly, as in fig. 3 a. 
Species unica.— GYRENE GUTTULATA, JVentw. (Plate 57, fig. 3 & 3a.) 
Fusco-brunnea, proboscidepicea, abdomine rufescenti, hemelytris guttulis nonnullis minutis 
albidis alterisque duobus (in singulo) nigrisi alis posticis fuscis. Long. corp. lin. 7.

LYSTRA TRICOLOR. (Plate 57, fig. 4.) 
Sanguinea glaberrima, prothoracis lobo antico mesothoraceque antice nigris, hemelytrorum 
dimidio basali (basi ipso livido excepto) stramineo nigro macukto; apicali brunneo, 
macula costali straminea; posticis rubris dimidio apicali fusco, pedibuscastaneo-sanguineis.

Habitat in Assam. 
I am likewise indebted to Mr. Robinson for specimens of this 
beautiful addition to tlie Fulgoridm, from a country which appears 
to be extremely rich in the species of that family, judging from the 
splendid insects described and figured by the Rev, F. W. Hope in 
the new Part of the Transactions of the Linnsean Society. 
The present species has the face (fig. 4 a) convex and very 
gloss}’’, nearly square, with the sides rather deeply impressed ; the 
eyes are rather slightly emarginate beneath, leaving a small space 
in which the ocelli are placed. The disc of the head is excavated 
and marked with two ocelli-like tubercles placed wide apart. The 
four fore-tibife are slightly compressed, but are ^without any 
tendency to foliation. 
The plant represented in the plate is Roscoea purpurea, from 
Upper Nepaul. (Smith, Exot. Bot.)
