Var. consors. (Tab. III., figs. 20, a, h.) 



Gaana comura. White, MS."*' 



Gaana wacidnta, StiU, Ofv. Vct.-Ak. Forli. 1862, p. 483. 



Differs from the typical form of the species by the wings having a much larger basal patch of either 

 ochraccous or pale greenish ; submarginal series of whitish spots to both tegmina and wings as in var. a : 

 both basal spots to tegmina present as in typical forms. 



Hab.— Continental India : Sikkim (Calc. Mus.) ; Assam ; Naga and Kasi Hills (Calc. Mus. ; Chennell 

 coll. Dist.); Margherita (Doherty— coll. Dist.). Burma: Carin Ghecii (Fea — Genoa Mus.). 



This variable species is always constant in the macular markings to the head and 

 pronotum. 



2. Gseana stellata. (Tab. III., figs. 15, a, h.) 



Ilturhi/s stelhita, Walker, Ins. Saund. Horn. p. 27 (1858) ; Atkins. J. A. S. Beng. vol. Iv. p. 154, n. 22 (1886). 



^ . Body marked as in G. macidata ; but with the abdominal segments beneath somewhat liroadly 

 margined with ochraceous. 



Tegmina pale brownish-ochraccous, pale fuscous towards apex, base — including basal cell— blackish ; 

 a transverse series of three large whitish spots at about centre, inwardly margined with a blackish 

 suffusion ; a marginal series of small whitish spots in apical areas, and a similar spot in each of the three 

 upper ulnar areas. "Wings blackish, paler between the veins, with a pale spot at inner basal margin, a 

 small discal ochraceous streak, a series of four or five submarginal whitish spots situate in the apical 

 areas, and with the anal area somewhat greyish margined with fuscous. 



The rostrum reaches the posterior coxje. 



Long. excl. tegm. S , 38 millim. Exp. tegm. 98 millim. 



Hab.— Continental India : Assam ; Khasi Hills (Chennell— coll. Dist.). 



Var. a. 



5 . Tegmina with the ochraceous markings replaced by a hue of dark cinnamon, and the fuscous 

 shadings nearly black. "Wings jet-black, with the pale markings as in typical form. 

 Hab.— Continental India: Assam; Margherita (Doherty — coll. Dist.). 



It is quite possible that G. stellata may prove to be another extreme variety of G. maculata, 

 but in the absence of intermediate forms I have treated it here as a distinct species. 



3. Gaeana sulphurea. (Tab. III., figs. 22, a, b.) 



Cicddd suliihurai, Hope, in Roylc's Illust. Bot. Himal. Introd. p. liv. ; t. 10, f. 2 (1839). 

 Cicada pulchella, Westw. Arc. Ent. ii. p. 33, t. 57, f. 1 (1842). 

 Oaana sulphurea, Atkins. J. A. S. Beng. vol. liii. p. 223, n.38 (1885). 



S. Body above black; lateral margins of vertex of head,— continued to between eyes,— pronotum 

 (excluding the fissures, margins, and a central hour-glass-shaped fascia), four linear spots to mesonotum 

 (sometimes united in pairs), and the margins of anal appendage, reddish-ochraceous. Body beneath and 

 legs black ; a fascia on each side of face, sternal streaks, a spot at base of tegmina, posterior segmental 

 margins,- obliterated centrally,— and the anal appendage, ochraceous. 



Tegmina and wings sulphureous ; tegmina with the inner margin of costal membrane, a curved and 



inwardly angulated fascia crossing centre, and the whole apical area,— including the upper ulnar area,— 



blackish ; costal membrane ochraceous, postcostal area blackish ; wings with the apical area— broadly, and 



narrowing to anal angle— blackish. 



- Walker (List. Horn. i. p. 253) referred to tliis name as published in the Proe. Zool. Soc. 1850. This may have been 

 intended, but was not carried ont, and Oieana contors, White, is a MS. name only.
