Myopsociis sp. A. — A species very similar to the preceding, with 

 an expanse of wing of 13 mm. and in coloration much less densely 

 marmorate on the wings ; stigma 3^ellow, and basal cells of the wing 

 and a space before the cubital vein more or less hyaline. Speci- 

 mens from Upper Assam. 



Ceratipsociis sp. B. — This is a smaller species (expanse of wings 

 8 mm.) with wings clouded rather than marmorate, and with an 

 equal distribution of the clouds all over them : veins alternately 

 white and black. Specimens from Upper Assam. 



Epipsocus sp. (?). — Specimens in the Lefroy collection from 

 Pusa, Bengal. 



EMBIID^. 



I have spent much time over the three or four species of this 

 famil}^ represented in the collection, with not very satisfactor}^ 

 results. I think I have identified E. saundersi, Westwood (from Surat, 

 Bombay Presidency, " at light"; Pusa collection), and ii. michaeli,^ 

 McLachlan, but what the third species that is represented by a 

 single male specimen from Pamben, Rameswarem Island, Palk 

 Straits, S. India, is, and whether described or not, I am tmable to 

 say. It is hard to pick out distinctive characters from bare descrip- 

 tions. But my figures of the male abdominal appendages on 

 pi XX, figs. II — 13, will enable anyone who comes after me to be 

 certain as to what species I had before me. The third species, 

 near E. iartara, Saussure, but with complete venation, 24-jointed 

 antennae, and an expanse of 17 mm., is perhaps the same as the 

 large black wingless females in the Lefroy collection. 



SlAIvID^. 



Corydalis territans^ sp. nov. 



One female from Sikkim, E. Himalayas (Reg. No. -\~). 



Eength of body 40 mm. (probably considerably more in life 

 for the abdomen is shrunken). Expanse of wings 136 mm. Head 

 entirely rufous. Mandibles black. Antennae broken, onh^ two 

 basal segments present ; these are rufous at ends and broadly ringed 

 with jet black between. The elevated rim of the vertex at the 

 inner side of the antennae is edged with black, as are the three 

 close-set ocelli internally. Disc of the head rugulose, without 

 colour pattern. The lateral margins of the hind angles of the head 

 are thin and flat and minutely serrulate on their flaring border, 

 produced behind into the usual sharp spine, and in this species 

 ending anteriorly in a second thin flat triangular spine or tooth 

 just behind the eye, while the tooth which in other Oriental species 

 of this genus lies nearer the top of the head, is in this species 

 wanting. 



1 Males of this species are often found in Calcutta at night on whitewashed 

 walls illuminated by lamps, both outside and in houses. — N. A.
