MUKARIA. 269 



black ; abdomen beneath testaceous ; teguiina stramineous, basal 

 margin of clavus broadly and angularly continued along claval 

 suture and occupying the whole ot" ciaval apex dark castaneous, 

 the whole apical area to tegmen pale castaneous, darker anteriorly 

 and posteriorly and centrally spotted with dark castaneous, 

 its anterior margin much angulated, at inner base of clavus 

 there is an oblique very pale stramineous spot; vertex, pro- 

 notum and scutellum very thickly finely punctate ; face with a 

 short central basal ridge and finely laterally transversely striate ; 

 margins of the vertex acutely retlexed. 



Length inch tegm. 2 6 millim. 



Hab. Kurseong {Coll. Dist.). 



I possess at present only a single female specimen of this species. 



Division MUKARIANA. 



This division here includes three somewhat aberrant genera, 

 which by the structure of the face, strongly transversely impressed 

 across the base beneath the prominent overhanging anterior edge 

 of the head, has strong affinites with the Gyponinse. From this 

 subfamily it is, however, diiierentiated by the indiscernible oceUi, 

 and 1 therefore place it in the Jassinae. 



Synopsis of Genera. 



A. Scutellum broad, its basal margin longer thau 



either of the lateral margins. 



a. Vertex as long as or only a little shorter than 



pronotum, suhconically rounded in front, 

 more than half as long as breadth between 

 eyes MuKARiA, p. 269. 



b. Vertex short and transverse, convexly rounded 



in front, in length not more than half the 



breadth between eyes Bulobia, p. 271. 



B. Scutellum triangular Mohunia, p 272. 



Genus MUKARIA, nov. 



Type, M. jjenthimioides, Dist. 



Distribution. India, Ceylon. 



Vertex as long as or a little shorter than pronotum, suhconically 

 anteriorly rounded, more than half as long as breadth between 

 eyes, a submarginal impressed line from between eyes; ocelli 

 indiscernible; face long, strongly transversely impressed across 

 the base beneath the prominent overhanging anterior edge of the 

 head, narrowed towards clypeus ; eyes long, oblique, extending 

 backward over the anterior angles of the pronotum; pronotum 

 arched, anterior margin convexly rounded between the eyes, a 

 little concave before scutellum, the lateral margins short; scutellum 

 large, broad, its basal margin longer than either of the lateral 

 margins, transversely impressed before apical area ; tegmina 

 elongate, considerably longer than abdomen, widened posteriorly, 

 apical areas large ; tibite spinulose.
