SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 
toward the base, viewed from in front moderately silicate or not 
so narrowly snlcate as in personatus. Eyes strongly globose 
elevated, higher than the pronotum. Antennae slender filiform, 
of moderate length, very little compresso-ampliate apically, 
inserted barely below the lower border of the eyes. Pronotnm in 
front truncate, the antero-dorsal margin not advanced to the eyes, 
posteriorly subulate, above subflattened rugulose, between the 
shoulders with fine indistinct abbreviated supernumerary cari- 
nulae on each side; median carina subsinuate little elevated, 
subflattened between the shoulders, excavate just behind the 
anterior margin, behind the shoulders posteriorly indistinctly 
sinuate; anterior prozonal carinse small abbreviated; lateral 
carinae in front of humeral angles distinct; infra-scapular area 
above the elytra very narrow, little widened posteriorly behind 
the apex of elytra ; posterior angle of the lateral lobes of pronotum 
turned downwards, subrounded truncate. Elytra oval apex 
rounded; wings long, extended backward beyond the apex of 
pronotal process. Anterior femora very slightly compressed, 
entire; middle femora little compresso-ampliate, entire, the 
breadth contained about two and a half times in the length ; 
posterior femoral margin above serrulate, external pagina scabrous, 
two of the oblique lines behind the middle little outwardly pro¬ 
tuberant ; posterior tibiae spinose, fuscous with two light annula- 
tions ; first and third articles of posterior tarsi nearly equal in 
length, the pulvilli acute spiculate, the third little exceeding the 
second in length. 
One male specimen from Elephant Pass, Northern Province, 
Ceylon. March, 1901. E. Ernest Green. 
Length of body <5, 9*7 mm.; pronot. 8 mm.; width of shoulders 
2 mm. ; elytra 1 mm.; post. fern. 3*9 mm.; antennae 3 mm.; 
wings + pronot. 1 mm.; pronot. + fern. 2 mm. 
The exserted compresso-elevated head in this species, as in the 
one following, reminds us somewhat of Systolederus , yet Eupara- 
tettix bears a closer affinity to Paratettix in other characters.

Body finely rugose, fuscous, front of head, sides of pronotum 
cinereo us. Head exserted, vertex elevated forward, narrower than 
eye. Frontal costa strongly arcuate produced, declivous toward 
the base, entire. Pronotum narrow, posteriorly subulate much 
surpassing the femoral apex ; dorsum rugulose ; median carina 
percurrent, little compressed, between the shoulders sinuate ; 
posterior angle of the lateral lobe narrow rounded. Elytra with 
the apex not at all acuminate ; wings strongly longer than the
