Fulgora with the rostrum about half as long again as the thorax, with the apex turned up and acuminate, of a darkgreen colour with white irrorations ; the body fulvous, with the thorax spotted with black; the feet black with thefour anterior femora pitchy, and the two hind femora fulvous ; the hemelytra and wings coloured and marked as inF. candelaria. Length of the body and rostrum 1 J-l^ inch. Expansion of the hemelytra 2J-3 inches. Inhabits Assam. In my Collection.
