Perla cymbele, sp. no v. 



A single female specimen from Pharping, Nepal, altitude circa 

 5,000 feet {R. Hodgart, October 1907). 



Very similar to the preceding species ; a little smaller. Length 

 12 mm. Expanse of wings 32 mm. 



Brown. Head pale brownish, with a broad diffuse transverse 

 band of darker brown between the eyes and covering the ocelli. 

 Ocelli equidistant from each other and from the eyes, the anterior 

 ocellus one-half smaller than the others. The elevated antero-lateral 

 margins of the frons have a blackish tinge. 



The prothorax is wider than the head. Its fore border is 

 straight or slightly bisinuate, the anterior angles are slightly acute, 

 the sides are slightly convex and convergent posteriorly to 

 the slightly obtuse hind angles. There is a fine black transverse 

 carina on the disc closely paralleling the front margin, joined in the 

 rear by a similar mid-dorsal narrow black line. On the sides of the 

 disc are some low obscure rugosities. The meso- and metathorax 

 and the basal segments of the abdomen are yellowish brown. Legs 

 yellowish brown, slightly darker on the tarsi. Wings smoky 

 hyaline. Antennae and setse broken. 



The posterior ventral prolongation of the eighth abdominal 

 segment is slightly narrower than in P. ione, and distinctly bifid at 

 the tip. It is thin and transparent, and not easy to see in dried 

 specimens. 



The eggs of this species are very different from those of P. tone, 

 being elongate oval, or slightly narrowed to the micropylar end. 

 They are deeply pitted all over the opposite end. The chitinised 

 rim about the micropyle is low and smooth, and not revolute. 



Neoperla indica, sp. no v. 



Three males and five females. Kulu, W. Himalayas (Reg 

 Nos. ^-V-^ ^-¥", "V-'^). A yellowish species near Perla luteola, 

 Burm., and Neoperla pilosella, Kip., from Java. Length of male 

 about 7 mm., expanse of wings 21 mm. Length of female about 

 10 mm., expanse 28 mm. 



Colour brownish yellow, darker above on the head and pro- 

 thorax, paler beneath and on all the appendages. Antennae long, 

 somewhat paler towards the base, and clothed throughout with close 

 pubescence, as are the long yellow palpi. Head without distinguish- 

 able colour pattern, with a diffuse darker area on the disc and 

 darker pigmentation around eyes and ocelli. Each of the two 

 ocelli is separated from the other by about its own diameter. 



Prothorax straight margined in front, slightly narrowed on 

 the convex sides posteriorly in the male, but not perceptibly 

 narrowed in the female, its disc sub-rugulose, and with a fine brown 

 mid-dorsal fine, and a similar line on each lateral margin. Legs 

 yellow : only the claws brownish. Wings (pi. xx, fig. i) yellowish, 

 veins darker. Setae and abdomen yellow, the former clothed with 

 short pubescence.
