JASSIDjE. 



I do not at present propose a division for the reception of the 

 following genus : — 



Genus CHUDANIA, nov. 



Type, C. delecta, Dist. 



Distribution. Northern India. 



Vertex moderately broad and long, anteriorly subangularly 

 produced, about as long as breadth between eyes, the lateral 

 margins acutely reflexed, obliquely incurved in front of eyes ; 

 ocelli near the latei-al margins in front of eyes, which are oblong 

 and projecting behind the anterior margin of the pronotum ; face 

 broad, narrowed posteriorly, somewhat globose, centrally carinate 

 on basal area ; pronotum about as long as vertex, slightly convex 

 at anterior margin, a little concavely sinuate at posterior margin, 

 lateral margins nearly straight ; scutellum shorter than pronotum, 

 transversely impressed before apical area ; teguiina broad, passing 

 apex of abdomen, costal mai'gin rounded, apical cells four ; legs 

 somewhat short and slender, posterior tibiae thickly finely 

 spinulose. 



The surface position of the ocelli would seem to locate this 

 genus in the Tettigoniellinse, but their position near the lateral 

 edges and its general affinities have induced me to include it in 

 the Acocephalinous portion of the Jassinae. I am, however, in some 

 doubt as to its correct location, and for present purposes, and in 

 the present diverse opinions as to the characters of some sub- 

 families, it may be thus enumerated.
