[Vol. Ill, 



coppery reflections. Wings hyaline, veins yellow. Wing- roots 

 black, as are two cross-veins in the anal angle. The gradate cross- 

 veins are also blackish, and a few of the cross- veins joining the 

 radial vein and the radial sector are blackish on both their ends. 

 Inner gradate series consists of eight or nine cross-veins. 



TuMEOCHRYSA, gen. nov. 



Allied to Anomalochrysa of the Hawaiian Islands, having the 

 cross-veins of the wing disc scattered, not arranged in regular 

 gradate series. Antennae about as long as the body, shorter than 

 the wings, in the male at least with huge erect tumid basal 

 segments. 



Type T. indica.

Tumeochrysa indica, sp. nov. 



One male specimen collected by Dr. Annandale at Bhim Tal, 

 Kumaon, W. Himalayas (4,500 ft.), 19 — 22-ix-o6 (Reg. No. "tI-)- 

 Length 15 mm. Antennae 15 mm. Expanse of wings 45 mm, 

 A rather slender and elongate species, yellowish in colour 

 (perhaps greenish in life). Face yellow. Head surmounted by the 

 high, erect, basal antennal segments, which nearly cover its entire 

 width, and which are closely approximated to one another. Each 

 basal segment is yellow, swollen, sub-tuberculate on the postero- 

 internal side, and is as long as the next twelve subequal segments 

 succeeding it, and bears on its outer side a diffuse red line. On the 

 disc of the head there is in the rear a similar transverse red line 

 from eye to eye, extended forward between the basal segments of 

 the antennae on the median line in a diffuse triangular dilatation.
