eral color orange yellow to yellowish green, dorsum of thorax 

 sometimes with paler streaks or often white stripes in male; 

 antennal segments 4 to 8 black at tip, 9 and 10 all black ; wings 

 clear with several small dark spots along margins. Body sur- 

 face often covered with white flocculent material. 



Head small, little broader than prothorax, not deflexed, deeply 

 cleft in front, vertex with edges and median line elevated into 

 a narrow rim with two deep fossae extending from posterior 

 margin* slightly divergently toward antennal bases ; in the male 

 the lateral ridges and ridge on each side of median suture are 

 often whitish ; anterior outer angle of vertex acute and forming 

 a small hornlike epiphysis over eye; anterior ocellus at front 

 margin of vertex, a little above apex of frontal cleft and visible 

 from above. Gense not swollen into cones beneath, but project- 

 ing forward at antennal bases forming frontal cleft. Frons 

 very narrow, scarcely visible between genaa. Antennas a little 

 more than half as long as body, slender. Beak moderately long. 



Thorax not much arched, not broad. Legs rather short and 

 slender; hind tibiae with a small spur at base and several black 

 spines at apex; basal tarsus of hind legs with one black spine 

 at apex. Forewings hyaline, long, about two and three-fourths 

 times as long as broad, with pseudovein connecting short radius 

 and media; pterostigma wanting. 



Male abdomen slender; genital segment small; forceps very 

 slender, arched, acutely pointed; anal valve shorter than forceps, 

 relatively very broad, expanded laterally. Female abdomen 

 larger, broader; genital segment nearly as long as rest of ab- 

 domen; dorsal valve bulging upward and hirsute midway and 

 abruptly constricted in apical third to an acute point; ventral 

 valve tapering to an acute point, nearly as long as dorsal. 



Moluccas, Amboina (Muir), January, 1908, 5 males and 6 

 females. India, Mercara, Coorg (Y. R. Rao), May 24, 1917, 

 3 females. 



This species is very close to Tyora hibisci Froggatt, differirg 

 in some color characters and in the genitalia of both sexes. Me- 

 sohomotoma camphorse Kuwayama is very similar to this species 

 and apparently is not generically distinct.

Nesiope and Tenaphalara differ sharply from the remainder 

 of the subfamily in the shape of the head, which in these two 

 genera is not at all cleft as it is in the others. Notwitstanding
