roundly curved downwards, its apex broadly and roundly curved 

 upwards. 



Length 15-20 millini. 



Bombay : Bombay (li. li. Holmes) ; Cei'lo^' : Peradeniya (E. E. 

 Green, type) ; Toumosa {A. E. Wileman). 



Type in the British Museum. 



The examples that I have seen exactly agree with Cameron's 

 description in every way, excepting in having the labrum no 

 longer than half tlie clypeus and the nervellus intercepted at its 

 centre.* 



No doubt can remain that this species is congeneric with 

 >S'. homhtic'ivoruK, Grav., from which it differs in its basally infumate 

 radial and snba])ieally infmnate lirst cubital cells, in the basally 

 much more strongly inflexed internal cubital nervure, in having 

 the nervellus more strongly postfurcal and intercepted a little 

 lower, the radial nervure of the hind wing nnich more strongly 

 sinuate basally, with its recurrent nervure appreciably nearer the 

 apex of the wing ; the scutellum and metanotum are less rugulose, 

 and the former laterally carinate nearly to its apex ; the eyes are 

 equally emarginate, and the ocelli large, in both species.
