Wlk., from the N. Khasi Hills {Godwin-Austen) ; and N. maculipennis , 

 Gray, from the same locality. The Chauliodes is Ch. simplex, 

 Walker, likewise from the N. Khasi Hills {Godwin-Austen). 



MANTISPID.E. 



All the members of this famil}^ that have hitherto been reported 

 from India are represented in the Museum collection. 



Mantispa nodosa, Westwood. — There is a single broken speci- 

 men of this huge species from the Domdami Valley, N. Assam 

 (Reg. No. ^iF). 



Mantispa rugicollis, Navas. — Of this species, recently described 

 from the Himala^^as, there is a single good specimen from Sikkim 

 (Reg. No. ~tI"). Another wingless fragment, apparently similar, 

 is from Upper Assam (Reg. No. ^f-). 



Mantispa quadrituberculata , Westwood. — There is a series of this 

 handsome species from Kulu, W. Himalayas (Reg. Nos. ---j--, fi-^ -^^ 

 ~~T-~), and Sibsagar, Assam (S. E. Peal). 



Mantispa lineolata, Westwood. — From Kulu, W. Himalayas 

 (Reg. Nos. ^-V-", ^' -V-", -T-). 



Mantispa indica, Westwood. — Kangra Valley, W. Himalayas, 

 4,500 ft., November 1899 {Dudgeon); Sikkim; Upper Assam; 

 Calcutta (Reg. No. ^H'). 



PANORPID^. 



Four species representing this family are in the collection 

 before me, two that have long been known, and two that are new 

 to science. 



Panorpa furcata, Hardwicke. — Soondrijal, Nepal {Hodgart, 

 October, 1907) (Reg. No. -fl-), three females. There is also a single 

 pale specimen that shows hardly more of coloration on the wings 

 than the furcate middle band ; I think it is a teneral specimen of 

 the same species. 



Panorpa appendiculata, Westwood. — This species is represented 

 by four females in the Lefroy collection, from Igatpuri, Bombay. 



Panorpa fenestrata, s^. nov. 

 (PI. xxi, figs. 13—15.) 



Upper Assam (Reg. Nos. » "iP, '-V-, -W). 



Length of bod}'' 15 mm. Antennae 11 mm. Rostrum 4 mm. 

 Expanse of wings 28 mm. 



Colour black, paler beneath and rufescent on the basal segment 

 of the antennae, on the hind angles of all the thoracic segments and 

 on the sides of the rostrum. The last three abdominal segments of 

 the male, wholly rufous.
