SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 
Apterous Viviparous Female (figs. 1 and 2). 
Body elongate, ovate, bright pale green, with the cornicles dark 
brown (pale brownish on immature specimens) and the eyes 
crimson. Upper surface furnished with transverse rows of long 
and rigid bristles arranged as follows : on the cephalothorax, 
between the antennae, two bristles (nearly equally distant from 
antennae as from each other) on a transverse line between 
anterior margin of eyes, a row of six and two rows of four and six 
beneath eyes ; on mesonotum, near the anterior margin, in the 
middle, two somewhat shorter bristles, then an anterior sub¬ 
marginal row of six strong setae, and on posterior part six ; on 
the following segment an anterior row of eight bristles ; the 
following abdominal segments with irregular rows of bristles; 
between the cornicles an arcuate row of four, another posterior of 
three, two on the last segment; caudal segment with numerous 
bristles somewhat less rigid and paler. 
Front nearly flat, scarcely elevated at base of the frontal bristles ; 
a very obsolete median longitudinal impression. No frontal 
tubercles. Antennae longer than the body, up from apical part of 
third joint dark ; first and second joints short and thick ; third 
longest, fifth nearly half as long as third, fourth shorter than fifth, 
sixth equal to fourth, seventh subequal to third or even longer; 
thus the relative lengths are: 1*5, 1% 12% 5% 6*5,5% 11 (12) ; joints 
three to seven, imbricated, with some bristles ; a fovea at tip of 
fifth joint, sixth with (at base of seventh) a large fovea and some 
smaller. Rostrum extending distinctly beyond posterior coxae ; 
last joint short and black. Eyes of large size, of dark grenat colour, 
or crimson ; furnished with a well-separated appendix. Legs of 
moderate size, moderately pilose, the tibiae more so and with dark 
tips, as are also the feet. 
Cornicles dark brown, very long (at least as long as half the 
body), nearly cylindrical, but slightly narrower at base, then 
thicker and gradually narrowing to the tip, when they are scarcely 
expanded; they are covered with reticulate imbrications, which 
towards the apex bear very short bristles ; like the remainder of 
the upper surface, they are furnished with scattered long bristles. 
The tail is very short, presenting also transverse elevations with 
short bristles, and the long bristles already described. 
Long.: 1*8-2*15 mm. 
Mr. Green sent to Professor Westwood a description of the colour 
taken from the living specimens, which I transcribe here : “ The 
larvae and pupae are of a bright pale green colour ; the honey- 
secreting tubes, cornicles, or nectaries are pale brownish, and the 
eyes crimson. The imago state is also bright green immediately
