Genus ASYLANA, nov. 



Type, A. punjahensis, Dist. 



Distribution. North India. 



Head about as long as breadth between outer margins of eyes, 

 the lateral areas distinctly z-eflexed, the lateral margins angulated 

 near eyes, apices of lateral lobes outwardly obtusely angulate, 

 slightly concavely sinuate, not rounded as in Asyla ; antennae 

 with the basal joint not quite reaching apex of head, second joint 

 longer than the third, remainder mutilated in type ; rostrum 

 extending to the base of the second abdominal segment ; scutellum 

 considerably more than half the length of abdomen, somewhat 

 suddenly narrowed about one-third from apex, which is broadly 

 rounded ; abdomen profoundly sulcately furrowed on the three 

 basal segments. 



This genus is allied to Asyla (vol. i, p. 123), from whic-h it 

 differs by the non-rounded apex of the head, the longer and 

 differently shaped scutellum, &c.
