Subfamily PHYLLOCEPHALIN^. (Vol. I, p. 289.) 



Genus SCHIZOPS. (Vol. I, p. 293.) 

 2739. Schizops nepalensis, sp. n. 



Dark castaneous-brown ; a broad arcuate transverse fascia 

 between the lateral angles of the pronotum, a broad longitudinal 

 lateral fascia (sublateral for nearly half its length to scutellum) 

 and lateral margins to corium stramineous ; connexivum pale 

 testaceous ; membrane greyish with two outer veins dark piceous ; 

 body beneath pale bro\A nish, legs piceous brown ; spiracles white 

 margined with black; connexivum beneath pale testaceous palely 

 margined on each side ; antenuse black, basal joint shortest and 

 brown, second longest, third shorter than fourth ; head thickly 

 punctate, subrugulose, lateral lobes strongly cleft at apices ; 

 pronotum with the lateral margins shortly obtusely dentate, 

 narrowly ochraceous and inwardly narrowly margined with black 

 as is the anterior margin of the transverse stramineous fascia, 

 thickly coarsely punctate behind head, subrugulose and punctate 

 on basal half, liiteral angles only slightly prominent and almost 

 rounded ; scutellum with the central dark area thickly coarsely 

 punctate, the lateral areas coarsely transversely wrinkled ; corium 

 thickly punctate, less so on the costal marginal area ; body 

 beneath thickly finely punctate ; rostrum reaching the anterior 

 coxfe, between anterior and intermediate coxae tA\o dark longi- 

 tudinal spots ; abdomen beneath with a faint pale central 

 longitudinal fascia : intermediate and posterior tibiae w ith outer 

 pale longitudinal stripes. 



Length J 18; breadth between pronotal angles 9^ millim. 



Hah. Nepal Terai ; Dhakna Bogh. 



Allied to S. insignis. Walk,, but body more elongate and nar- 

 rower; pronotal angles less produced and more rounded ; membrane 

 without black spots ; colour markings of pronotum different. 



Subfamily UROSTYLINvE. (Vol. I, p. 303.) 



Genes UROSTYLIS. (Vol. I, p. 300.) 



In my synopsis of the genera of the Urostylinae (vol. i, p. 303) 

 I used as a character for this genus, " basal joint of antennae 

 nearly as long as head and pronotum together." Dr. Eeuter has 

 since (Ent. Month. Mag. 1905, p. 65) remarked that the character 

 is not constant, and the description of the following two addi- 

 tional species shows that his objection is a well-founded one. In 

 these species, V. instrvcHvus and U. sinensis, the first joint of the 

 antennae is only about as long as the pronotum.
