margin of the corium, sinuate spots in middle of membrane forming 

 an interrupted fascia towards apex; anterior and intermediate

 Hab. Ceylon ; Patannas Mount {Jlde MotacJioulsJof). 

 I do not know this species. Melichar has placed it after 

 Thamnotettix, and I have followed him. 



Genus BHATIA, 



nov. 



Type, B. oUvacea, Melich. 



Distribution. Ceylon. 



Vertex transverse, narrow, between eyes more than t\rice 

 as broad as long, rounded anteriorly, with a transverse incision 

 before apex ; face sinuate at anterior margins of eyes, narrowed 

 to clypeus, which is spatulate and constricted at middle ; ocelli on 

 anterior margin at a short distance from eyes, which are obliquely 

 oblong and extend half across the lateral margins of the pronotum ; 

 pronotum very much longer than vertex, in front broadly rounded, 

 posterioi'ly flatly slightly concave ; scutellum nearly as long as 

 the pronotum, broadly triangular, with a transverse impression 

 before apical area; tegmiua passing abdominal apex, the claval 

 veins moderately apically rounded, a transverse vein outside the 

 middle of clavus. 



The above description differs in some respects from that of the 

 typical species described and figured by Melichar. I can find no 

 trace of the claval transverse vein, though the pattern of venation 

 in all other respects agrees with his figure.

 t. vi, f. la-c (1903). 



" Body robust, broad, longly produced, olive or dirty-green ; 

 head with eyes as broad as pronotum ; vertex three times as broad 

 as long in middle, arched, in front broadly bowed and provided 

 with a short transverse furrow whereby the tip of the front 

 margin appears sharpened, the sharp corner only visible in middle 

 of margin of vertex disappears on both sides towards the eyes, 

 in the nape are four small brown dots of which the middle ones 

 are very close together ; face broader than long, pale green, 

 twice as broad above as at clypeus ; at the end of frontal suture 

 the ocelli occur at the passage from the vertex to the front ; 

 second joint of antennte black, antennal bristles as long as half the 

 body ; " ziigel " semicircular, enclosed by the cheeks ; clypeus 

 spatulate, in the middle constricted, at the tip widened ; pronotum 

 four times * as long as the vertex, in front broadly rounded, behind 



* This is an error, a reference to Melichar's figure will show that the 

 pronotum is only about twice as long.
