192 Records of the Indian Museum. [Vol. Ill, 



further described from material carefully preserved by Dr. 

 Annandale, as follows: — 



Length of male 3*5 mm., with seta? 11 mm. additional. 

 Length of female about 4 mm., with setae 3*5 to 4 mm. additional. 

 Expanse of wings 9 mm. 



White, with narrow lines of sooty black across the top of the 

 head between the eyes, and on the sides of the prothorax, and on 

 the humeri of the mesothorax and across the apex of the meta- 

 thorax, and across the apical dorsal margins of the abdominal 

 segments. The black is a little more pronounced towards the 

 sides of the segments and towards the apex of the abdomen. 

 Mesothorax pale brown above with a narrow paler median line. 

 Wings whitish, with the usual purplish costal band, whose extent 

 is indicated in pi. xx, fig. 7. 



The nymphs of two additional species, also collected by 

 Dr. Annandale, at Matiana, Simla district, W. Himalayas (8,000 

 ft.), are worthy of mention, since they are all that are known of 

 two species representing other genera in India. The first of these 

 is a single grown nymph (length 8 mm.) of a species of Lepto- 

 phlehia, a genus hitherto unreported from India. The coloration 

 is dark olivaceous above and yellowish below (perhaps greenish in 

 life). The setae are broken off. The side margins of the abdominal 

 segments are narrowly yellow above, and there is a pair of small 

 oblique submedian dots on the dorsum of each segment. 



There are also two nymphs, of a species of Heptagenia [s. lat.), 

 from a small stream at Matiana, which differ from all known 

 nymphs of that genus in the possession of a series of mid-dorsal 

 abdominal hooks or triangular teeth, one terminating the mid-dorsal 

 keel on each segment from the first to the ninth, successively 

 smaller on the eighth and ninth segments. These are pale smooth 

 nymphs, the larger of which measures 12 mm. in length of body. 

 There is a conspicuous black spot on the humeral cross-vein in the 

 nymphal wing which may be carried over in the adult. 



PSOCID^. 



This family is represented in the collections before me by half 

 a dozen species, three of which are well known, one of which is un- 

 determinable, and the other two of which are new. Unfortunately, 

 while the well-known species are represented by excellent series of 

 specimens, the new ones are not, and are therefore left unnamed. 



Psocus taprohencs, Hagen. — The Museum specimens of this 

 handsome species are from Calcutta, Munshibazar (S. Sylhet) and 

 Upper Assam, and those in the Lefroy collection are from Rungpore 

 (Eastern Bengal and Assam), from Dacca, and from Pusa, Bengal. 



Ceratipsocus subcostalis, Enderlein, is represented by a single 

 specimen in the Museum collection from Upper Assam. 



Myopsocus griseipennis , Mcl^. — About a dozen specimens col- 

 lected by Dr. Annandale at Bhim Tal, Kumaon (alt. 4,500 ft.), W. 

 Himalayas, in September 1906.
