longer than third ; head with the punctures coarse ; pronotum

Allied to N. dohertyi, Dist., but dilfering by the larger size, 

 differently coloured and longer antennae, though the relative 

 lengths of the joints are much the same, scutellum more 

 gibbous, &c. 



Nysius inconspicuus. (Vol. II, p. 18.) 



Since I described this species from the Bor Ghat I have received 

 a number of specimens from other parts of India. In some of 

 these the veins to tiie corium are either spotted (as described) or 

 wholly pale fuscous ; the basal joint of the antennae as well as the 

 apical joint is most frequently infuscate, second joint slightly 

 longer than the third, third and fourth subequal in length.
