Genus KANA, nov. 



Type, K. thoracica, Dist. 



Distrihution. British India. 



Vertex about one-third longer than pronotum, subangularly 

 rounded anteriorly, moderately flattened, ocelli placed at a short 

 distance from lateral edges a little in front of eyes ; face only a 

 little longer than broad, truncate before clypeus which is 

 moderately broad and long ; pronotum convexly rounded an- 

 teriorly, the lateral posterior margins more or less obliquely 

 directed to base ; scutellum broad, subtriangular ; tegmina with 

 four distinct apical cells. 



This genus is allied to Nirvana by the position of the apical 

 cells to the tegmina, &c., but it differs in the much shorter 

 vertex and face.
