the hind margin. I consider it should be placed in the Tropidocephalini. The 

 carin^e of the head and thorax arc obscure. 



Pundaluoya Kirkaldy. 



The type of this genus, DeJphax eruestl Kirby, has the tibial spur cultrate, 

 thick, concave on the inner surface, without teeth on the hind margin. I place 

 it in the Tropidocephalini. The carination of the head is similar to that of 

 Belocera Muir but, apart from the spur, the terete antennae distinguishes it from 

 that genus as well as from Perkinsiella Kirk. There is no carination on the 

 lateral margin of the pronotum. 



The genus Peregrinus Kirk, is quite distinct in general facies, shape and 

 carination of head and thorax. The six species under the genus I place as follows : 



1. Pundaluoya ernesti (Kirby). Type. 



2. Pundaluoya ■simplex Dist. Typical. This only differs in the lighter 

 colour from P. ernesti and is represented by a female. Only the capture of the 

 male will decide if this be only a colour variety or not. 



3. Pundaluoya simplex Dist. = Peregrinus maidis (Ashmead). 



4. Pundaluoya insignis Dist. = Perkinsiella insignis (Dist.). 



5. Pundaluoya facilis Dist. = Perkinsiella facilis (Dist.). 



6. Pundaluoya pidchella Dist. =Phyllodinus ptilchella (Dist.). 



The front legs of this species are flattened, otherwise it would be a 

 Dicranotropis. 



Zuleika Distant. 



First tarsus slightly longer than the other two together, spur as long as 

 the first tarsus, broad, laminate, with small teeth on the hind margin. Lateral 

 carina? of pronotum slightly diverging curved. I cannot separate this genus 

 from Chlariona. 



Opiconsiva Distant. = Delphacodes Fieb. 



1. 0. fuscovaria Dist. = Delphacodes puscovaria (Dist.). 



2. 0. insularis Dist. = Megamelus furcif era (Horv.). 



3. 0. derelicta Dist. = Megamelus furcif era (Horv.). 

 This is a light female specimen of 0. insularis. 



4. O. modesta Dist. =^ Delphacodes modesta (Dist.). 



5. 0. halteata Dist. = Megamelus furcif era (Horv.). 



The second specimen under this name is a different species. 



6. 0. colorata Dist. 



The genitalia of this species are similar to M. furcif era (Horv.), but the head 

 and thorax are black, except in the two brachypterous specimens, in which there 

 is a light mark down the middle of the thorax. 



7. 0. gloriosus Dist. 



One specimen without abdomen, similar to M. furcif era (Horv.). 



Nilaparvata Distant. = Delphacodes Fieb. 



The type of this genus is a damaged male, but it is in good enough con- 

 dition to enable me to be sure of the synonymy of the species. 



1. Nilaparvata greeni Dist. = Delphacodes sordescens (Motsch.) = Delpha- 

 codes anderida (Kirk.). 



I was in doubt as to whether D. sordescens was the same as D. anderida 

 until I had examined the Indian specimens.
