The body of this insect is shaped somewhat like a beech nut, being compresso-cristate and gently arched above from before backward. One of the unique species is the interesting horned Cladonotus latiramus figured on plate I. fig. 1, the only specimen of which was discovered on a bungalow wall. Its body is provided with many spiniform tubercles, and the pronotum is elevated forward into a vertical ramus. The very rough-backed Lamellitettix acutus (plate II., fig. G), with its lateral lobes of the pronotum outwardly projecting in the form of broad-based spines, is represented by one female specimen taken from the stem of a tree in a thick jungle. Contrasting with the foregoing is the graceful bodied Criotettix tricarinatus (plate III., fig. 15) with delicate spines arming the lateral lobes. It seems to be one of the commonest species locally, appearing in considerable numbers on the margin of a river, the side of a railroad bank and on grass lands. A nearly allied species, Criotettix spinilobus (plate III., fig. 12). was found on swampy ground. The rather large Acanthalobus miliarius (plate II., fig. 8) was found frequenting rice fields, the dry bed of a tank, and the banks of a stream. The long-wing somewhat slender-bodied Loxilobus acutus (plate I., fig. 3) was caught at light. Another smaller species Loxilobus rugosus (plate III., fig. 16) inhabits swampy ground and grass lands. Of bizarre forms Systotederus f/reani (plate II., fig. 9) is an excellent example. The large globose eyes drawn very close together present a most peculiar aspect, being compressed and elevated considerably above the somewhat flattened d...
