Wings almost transparent, with the veins pale brown. Abdomen black, the segments edged and bordered exteriorly with greenish white. Inferior genital segment of the male triangular and swollen. Length to tip of wing-covers 2-2| mm.; width of pronotum 1-1| mm. Twelve specimens were taken at two or three places on the island. DELTOCEPHALUS ACUMINATUS, sp. nov. Pale greenish, moderately robust. Head short, subconical, with the sides curved; vertex a little longer than wide, marked with two deltoid black spots next the tip, near the base are two very minute black dots: eyes long and very oblique ; front oblique, convex, crossed by two series of slender, curved, browm. lines, the lower margin, a spot on the tylus, and some specks on the cheeks also brown. Pronotum short, green, and a little rugose, yellowish in front, the submargin with two black dots, each side of which are some minute specks, the anterior margin moderately curved, the posterior margin subtruncate, and the lateral margins broadly oblique and curved. The scutellum a little scabrous, impressed in the middle, pale greenish, with a slender point at the apex. Wing-covers pale greenish yellow, translucent, narrow, moderately curved; the veins prominent, mostly straight, with long areoles, the costal areole and the adjoining one, besides the clavus, remotely punctate. The legs pale dull yellowish, with the bases of the tibial spines, tip of tibia?, and bands upon the tarsi brown. Sternum black, the pleural segments more or less margined and marked with pale green. The venter broadly black at base, this colour narrower and interrupted by green on the posterior segments; tergum covered by black at base, with the segments very slenderly edged with pale yellow, the apical half pale straw-yellow, dotted with black on the middle and submarginal lines. Length to tip of wing-covers 3-3| mm.; width of pronotum 1 mm. A few specimens, females, were brought from the island by Mr. Herbert H . Smith. The wings in this species are milk-white. DELTOCEPHALUS COLONUS, sp. nov. Similar to the preceding species in form, but with a blunter head, marked with two black dots placed far apart, and usually with two minute dots on the tip. Colour smoky yellowish or dull straw-yellow. Vertex hardly triangular, the sides bluntly curved: front long, pale testaceous, marked with a dagger-shaped middle line which extends from the tylus to the summit of the front, each side of this is a series of about eight narrow black bands, of which the upper is broader and arcuated ; the exterior margin, edge of the middle line, and sutures also black, or brown ; the cheeks |
