proiiotum with the Lateral margins darker ochraceous and with a

 apical area, the impression preceded by three central dark longi- 

 tudinal lines of which the two lateral ones are anteriorly united, 

 apex black ; body beneath and legs uniformly pale ochraceous ; 

 tegmina with the longitudinal veins very slender and indistinct, 

 two oblique dark lines beyond middle, commencing on costal 

 margin and directed inwardly about half across tcgmen, enclosing 

 a darker ochraceous spot, the dark lines margined on their outer 

 sides with greyish-white ; vertex about twice as long as pronotum, 

 the ocelli placed near lateral edges a little before eyes ; face elongate, 

 obliquely transversely striate on each lateral area, an ovally defined 

 space at base ; tegmina witli the venation somewhat indistinctly

Hah. Calcutta {Coll. Dlst.). 



I possess a single female specimen of this species. 



2527. Nirvana greeni, sp. n. 



Pale stramineous ; vertex with a small central black spot near 

 apex and two central longitudinal black lines united on basal 

 margin : pronotum with a central black longitudinal line which 

 is continued for about two-thirds the length of scutellum the 

 apex of which is also black ; tegmina with the claval sutural 

 margin for about three-fourths its length from base black, this 

 black line then obliquely crossing clavus before its apex, a small 

 piceous spot at apex of clavus and another in a small testaceous 

 suffusion near apex, apical margin narrowly testaceous, two dark 

 converging lines crossing costal area beyond middle and enclosing 

 a greyish space ; body beneath and legs uniformly pale stra- 

 mineous ; tarsal claws black ; ocelli testaceous.

Hah. Ceylon ; Peradeniya {Green). 



This species is allied to the preceding N. linealis, from which it

2528. Nirvana longitudinalis, sp. n. 



Vertex stramineous with a somewhat large black spot before 

 apex and two central black longitudinal lines united at basal 

 margin ; pronotum and scutellum very pale ochraceous, both 

 traversed by a central longitudinal black line ; head beneath and 

 legs stramineous ; sternum and abdomen very pale ochraceous ; 

 tegmina hyaline, the inner and claval areas pale roseate or some- 

 times ochraceous, a small piceous spot at apex of clavus and a 

 larger rounded black spot near apex of tegmen, two marginal 

 fuscous transverse lines near apical area of which the uppermost
