talia brown ; antennae and palpi rufofulvous ; clypeus and facialia 

 shining yellowish-fulvous. Thorax and scutellum brighter green 

 than abdomen, all with thin coat of silvery pollen. Legs brown- 

 ish ; tibiae tinged with fulvous; femora black, front pair green- 

 ish. Wings clear ; apical cell rather widely open, though much 

 narrowed at tip. Tegulae nearly white. Parafacial hairs yellow- 

 ish, thick. 



Holotype in Ind. Mus. 



A male from Bhim Tal (4,500 ft.) seems to belong here; it is 

 certainly congeneric, and I have drawn the male characters from 

 it as already given, but the apical cell is more narrowly open, and 

 the hairs of parafacialia are blackish. Also fifteen other specimens, 

 both sexes, from Calcutta, Sukna, Assam and Burma appear to be 

 this species, though the fourth vein is not so broadly rounded in 

 all of them. Some have the wings lightly infuscate, and the 

 hairiness of the parafacialia is variable in degree, though quite 

 uniformly yellowish. 



Strongyloncura nebulosa, sp. nov. 



Length of body, 7 to ys mm. ; of wing, 6 to 6*5 mm. One 

 male and one female, Margherita. Assam ; and Mergui, Lower 

 Burma [W . Doherty). 



Differs from nepalana as follows : Whole body dark cupre- 

 ous-purplish, with more or less green reflections. The female shows 

 more green. Head testaceous^ antennae and palpi fulvous. Para- 

 frontalia and parafacialia pale yellowish to golden poUinose. 

 Wings strongly smok5^-infuscate across apical half and on extreme 

 basocostal region. Tegulae yellow, upper scale more whitish. 

 Apical cell narrowly open. Parafacial hairs sparse, blackish. 



Holotype in Ind. Mus., male ; allotype, female. 



Strongyloneura viridana, sp. nov. 



Length of body, 7 to io"5 mm. ; of wing, 6 to 8'5 mm. Five 

 females : one Sadiya, North-east Assam, Nov. 27, 1911 (5. Kemp — 

 Abor Exped.) ; four Calcutta, Aug. 27, Sept. 26, Oct. 2, 1907. 



Entire body except head briUiant metallic green, with cupre- 

 ous reflections especially on thorax. Head yellowish ; pale golden 

 poUinose on parafrontalia, parafacialia, facialia, cheeks and orbits ; 

 occiput more ashy. Frontalia brown; antennae, facial plate and 

 palpi fulvous. Thorax thinly silvery poUinose, the scutellum and 

 abdomen showing rather less so except on venter. Legs brownish- 

 rufous ; femora black, the front and middle pairs decreasingly 

 green. Wings and squamae usually infuscate with smoky-yellow, 

 the anal region less so, the squamulae whitish. Fourth vein less 

 evenly rounded. The abdomen shows a faint purplish median 

 vitta ; and is more or less tinged with cupreous, sometimes wholly 

 so. Parafacial hairs partly or wholly blackish.
