and on the dorsum (behind the suture) a pah' of wide blackish 

 stripes of normal nature reaching to the scutellum, which latter is 

 small and yellow, the base a little blackish. vSides of thorax with 

 a pinkish tinge, some short 37ellow hair on the pleurae and near the 

 wing- roots ; metanotuni blackish, . Prothorax of moderate enlarge- 

 ment, produced into a short stout neck. 



Abdomen black, roughened ; posterior margins of segments 

 narrowly pale yellowish ; belly similar. Ovipositor brownish yellow, 

 enlarged at the base, the lower pair of valves much shorter than 

 the upper ones, straight, and set a little further back. 



Legs. — Coxae and trochanters both somewhat small, legs com- 

 parativeh^ robust, yellow, with rather long close pubescence, the 

 femora a little incrassated at the tip, and bearing a subapical 

 blackish not very well-defined ring, tips of tibiae and tarsal joints 

 narrowly blackish. 



Wings nearly clear, very iridescent, a faint 3'ellowish im- 

 pression caused by the 3'ellow veins ; the " cross-veins " rather black. 

 Auxiliary vein lying close to the ist longitudinal vein, ending at 

 about the middle of the wing, the ist longitudinal ending a little 

 beyond. The 2nd longitudinal vein begins at one- third of the 

 wing, forks at about half its length, just under the end of the ist 

 vein, with the marginal cross- vein just before the tip of the latter. 



The 3rd longitudinal vein originates a little before the fork of 

 the 2nd, at a right angle, thence forming nearly another right 

 angle before proceeding almost straight to the border parallel to 

 the veins in front of and behind it. Basal section of 3rd vein fairly 

 long, nearly in a line with the anterior cross-vein, which is of 

 about the same length. The 4th vein forks close to the anterior 

 cross-vein, the upper branch forks at about its middle, the branches 

 parallel. The lower branch of the 4th vein simple, parallel with 

 the 5th; posterior cross-vein just beyond fork of 4th vein; 3rd 

 posterior cell pointed at base ; 6th and 7th veins slightly sinuous . 

 A small indistinct stigma over the tip of the ist vein.

 Kurseong, 7-ix-o9, taken by Mr. D, F. Lynch. 



Section V, AMALOPINL 

 TRICHOCERA, Mg. 



occllata, Wlk., 9 . East Indies. Specimens agreeing with 

 Walker's description are in the Indian Museum from Simla, whilst 

 I have three other species described in MS. frorn India. 



N.B. — After due deliberation I remove this genus from the 

 Limnophilini to the Amalopini, with the characters of which it 

 seems to agree much better. This is the only instance in which I 

 have suggested the removal of any genus to a new section. 



Three species of Aiiialopis in the Indian Museum will also be 

 described b}' me subsequently.
