 Dehra Dun, base of W. Himalayas.

 tion from Mussoorie, United Provinces, and one from Palamow, 

 Bengal, three in the Museum collection from Chatrapur, Ganjam 

 district, Madras, and one from Shahzadpur, Allahabad, United 

 Provinces.

 to be this species are in the Lefroy collection, one from Pusa, 

 Bengal, and one from Bulsar, Bombay Presidency.

CHRYSOPID.^. 



This family is represented in the collections before me by at 

 least a dozen species representing five genera, one of which is a 

 new genus. Apparently but two species, Chrysopa ignobilis, Walk., 

 and Ancylopteryx candidus, Fabr., stand in our lists to the credit 

 of India. Nevertheless there are numerous described Oriental 

 species in several genera, and some of them are poorly described. 

 Therefore, I have refrained from describing any but the most 

 strongly marked species in the collections sent for study, especially 

 those belonging to the enormous genus Chrysopa. 



Besides the new genus Tumeochrysa described below, the 

 recently described Eremochrysa of Banks, hitherto known only from 

 America, is represented in the collection by a single handsome 

 species. 



The genera of Chrysopidse of the I ndo- Australian region may 

 be separated as follows : — 



a. Cells in the basal part of 



the fork of the median vein 

 alike, the third (''third 

 cubital cell") undivided; 

 antennae excessively long 

 and slender, much longer 

 than the fore wings; the 

 three series of gradate veins 

 of the fore wing not paral- 

 lel. 



b. The first (innermost) series 



of gradate veins joins the 

 radial sector anteriorly ;
