 dots near the front margin ; scutellum nearly as long as^the pro-

 dark bro\\'n, and there are longitudinal brownish stripes in the 

 four apical cells ; wings dark smoky-brown, with brownish-piceous

The above description and the figure given by Melichar agree 

 in all essentials with three Ceylonese specimens in my collection, 

 one of xA'hich is here figured. The absence of the transverse 

 claval vein I have alluded to in my generic description. The four 

 small bro\An dots near base of vertex are not constant; there are 

 generally only two, and sometimes none. There are no " longi- 

 tudinal bro\\nish stripes in the four apical cells," a character which 

 applies to Kutara hrimnescens {ante, p. 309). Meliehar's description 

 of this species, whicli he placed doubtfully in Eutettix, would almost 

 apply in certain characters to both genera, Kufara and Bhatia ; 

 but as he stated he only saw one $ specimen, he cannot have 

 confounded the two species.
