Pale luteous, the antennae and the nicsonotnm laterally rather 

 darker. Beneath, and the Ic^e^s, testaceous, extreme a])ex of the 

 hind tibiae l)lackish ; extreme apex of the antennae fuscous. 

 Tegmina hyaline, iridescent, veins pale yellow, three percurrent 

 transverse, ashy yellowish, narrow bands (two on the basal third, 

 one 'List apical of the middle), also two not extending to the 

 middle of the tegmina interiorly (between two and three, and 

 three and the apex), the radial and median veins are also the 

 same color on their apical two-thirds, and the apical veins are all 

 more or less similarly suffused ; costal vein pale, speckled closely 

 with sanguineous. Wings hyaline, veins yellowish. 



Length IK mm.; expanse abotit 10 mm.

Type nifoi'ittata. 



Head in ])rofile with vertex flattened and face curved, face 

 projecting very slightly in front of eyes, gena of equal width all 

 round eyes, eyes large, reaching to apex of face, deeply emargi- 

 nate behind ; antennae large, slightly flattened, constricted about 

 middle, indented at side of apex where the arista arises. \'ertex 

 triangular, base nearly as wide as length, angularly emarginate, 

 keeled ; sides keeled, keels meeting at apex ; face very narrow, 

 keels contiguous to apex, clypeus short, broad, rounded, without 

 keels ; labium very short ; pronotum long, roundly, broadly and 

 shallowlv emarginate behind, with median carina ; scutellum dis- 

 tinctly shorter than broad, lateral angles well behind middle, hind 

 margin very broadly angular. Tegmina near to Sikaiajia, but 

 the median basal cell is very narrow and reaches to middle of teg- 

 mina or beyond, the meclian cross-vein parallel to meclia, 

 and the subcostal cell is absent : wing ver_\' small, with stridulating 

 surfaces on anal areas. In the male genitalia the dorsohiteral 

 margin of the ])ygophor extending as two large, broad s])ines. 

 much longer than the genital styles. 



I have taken the liberty of naming this genus after Dr. Leopold 

 Melichar.
