Hab. — India, Kangra Valley, 4,500 feet (Oct., G. C. Dudgeon). 



What I suppose to be a nymph of the 5th instar may be described as 

 follows: Dull black; the narrowly laminate Literal margins of pronotum 

 and of tegminal pads, some pleurital spots, coxae, trochanters, base of 

 femora of middle and hind femora, the fore and middle tibiae (except 

 apically), first segment of tarsi, pale yellowish, rest of hind tibife piceous. 

 Second segment of antennae fuscous, darkening apically, a pale ring near 

 the base of the fourth. The pronotum is slightly impressed transversely 

 near the base, and slightly impressed longitudinally inside the laminate 

 lateral margins ; there is a distinct collar, wider medially than at the sides. 

 Fore femora only slightly incrassate and very feebly dealate. 



Apha?ius Kangricus, sp. nov. — Apparently belongs to Stal's subgenus 

 Xanthochihis, and probably allied to A. orientalis, but the transverse 

 impression on the pronotum is much more distinct. Dull blackish, with 

 brownish hairs. Labium pale piceous ; eyes reddish-brown, darkening 

 outwardly ; ocelli colourless. Laminate lateral margin of pronotum 

 yellowish-brown, hind area pale castaneous, punctured with blackish. 

 Scutellum apically fading a little, punctured with black. Ambulacra, 

 trochanters, base of femora, first two segments of tarsi, hind margin of 

 metasternum, etc., pale castaneous, rest of legs more or less piceous. 

 Tegmina testaceous, subl:yaline, with brown punctures ; about the apical 

 half brown-fuscous, v/ith a large subtriangular pale yellow spot on the outer 

 half of the middle ; basal half of membrane smoky, except one pale, 

 undulating vein and two spots ; apical margin ii regularly and faintly 

 smoky. 



Form apparently that of A. orieniaiis, but the pronotum is impressed 

 transversely basad of the middle, the lateral margins of the pronotum 

 laminately keeled. Antennte as in A. orientalis. Labium reaching a 

 little beyond the middle of the mesosternum. Clavus with three rows of 

 punctures. Fore femora more strongly incrassate than in A. orientalis, 

 and have two strong submedian spines and a i^tw feeble ones; tarsi dilated 

 at the apex. Hind femora not dentate. Length, 8^ mill. 



Hab. — India, Kangra Valley, 4,500 ft. (June, G. C. Dudgeon).

 I. B. iaprobanes, sp. nov. — Blackish. Ocelli red. Antenna blackish- 

 fuscous, second segment (except the apex) pale fuscous ; basal half of 4th 

 (except base) white. Labium yellowish-testaceous. Lateral margins of
