DESCRIPTION.—The promuscis in this pretty species is very long and slender, extending to the
extremity of the body, the cheeks ai-e separated from the rostrum by a transverse raised line, between
which and the eyes is a black dot. The foni- anterior legs have a black ring at the base of the tibiae,

FULGORA (HOTINA) VIRIDIROSTRIS. WESTW.
Fulgora rostro thorace dimidio longiore apice adscendente et acuminato, viridi farinoso-guttato ; corpore fulvo
thorace nigro maculate, pedibus nigris femoribus posticis fulvis, hemelyfa-is et alls ut in F. candelaria coloratis.
Fulgora with the rostrum about half as long again as the thorax, with the apex turned up and acuminate, of a dark
green colour with white irrorations ; tlie body fulvous, with the thorax spotted with black ; the feet black with the
fom- anterior femora pitchy, and the two hind femora fulvous ; the hemelytra and wings coloured and marked as in
F. candelaria.
Length of the body and rostrum 1 inch. Expansion of the hemelytra 2i-3 inches.
Inhabits Assam. In my Collection.
OBSERVATIONS.—I am indebted to Major Jenkins and Captain Robinson for my specimens of this
species, which in general character closely approaches Fulgora Candelaria, from which, liowevcr, it is at
once distinguished by its much shorter green rostrum and the dark colour of the legs. I have received
so many specimens, agreeing together, as to leave no doubt of its distinctness from tlie species last
named, of which, however, it seems to be the geographical representative.
