I have no hesitation in my identification of Stal's genus and 

 species (siq^ra). Dr. Sjiistedt kindly endeavoured to let me see a 

 specimen, but could not find the species in the Stockholm Museum. 

 I have therefore reproduced Stal's description and figured a 

 specimen from Tenasserim in my own collection.
