28 Records of the Indian Museum. [Vol. XIY, 



marks on the pronotum and elytra, and others entirely devoid of any 

 dark markings. 



A. niveus has a very wide distribution. 



Anisops sardea, Herr.-SchafE. 



Anisops sardea. Distant, Faun. Brit. Ind., Rhyn. Ill, p. 45. 



A single female specimen from He-Ho, ca. 3,800 ft., Yawnghwe 

 State, 7— 9-iii-1917. 



I have identified this species from its size. In all other respects it 

 is almost indistinguishable from A.feberi, Kirk. 



Nychia infuscata, sp. no v. 



(Plate VIII, figs. 6, Qa.) 



A number of specimens preserved in alcohol, from the marginal 

 zone of the Inle Lake, Yawnghwe State, 2 — 3-iii-1917. 



This genus has not hitherto been recorded from continental India. 

 Kirkaldy, however, records it from Ceylon. My description is taken 

 from specimens io alcohol. 



Head pale greenish, eyes light purplish. Pronotum white, with a 

 lateral fuscous spot at each hind angle. Scutellum white. Elytra 

 whitish, transparent ; corium white, next to the embolium a broad 

 longitudinal band extending the whole length and a short discal one 

 (sometimes almost absent) united with the other at base, extending to 

 a little before the middle of the corium, fuscous ; the latter apically 

 dull white. Embolium yellowish-white, the outer margin dark fuscous. 

 Antennae pale white ; second joint clothed with black hairs, fourth 

 joint with silvery hairs and with a fine black longitudinal line below. 



Clypeus fuscous brown, apical third of rostrum black. 



Sternum pale ochraceous, sides and the acetabula covered with long, 

 fine, black hairs. 



Underside of abdomen pale ochraceous, with a distinct, central, 

 longitudinal carination which does not extend to the base of the abdo- 

 men, clothed on each side with long, black hairs, which are also present 

 on the lateral margins of the ventral abdominal segments. Hairs on 

 the sides and apex of the abdomen long and silvery. 



Legs pale yellowish-white ; front and intermediate coxae and femora 

 marked with dark fuscous ; posterior femora with fine longitudinal 

 fuscous lines ; posterior tibiae with a black longitudinal fine below, 

 fringed with long black hairs ; posterior tarsi also fringed with long 

 black hairs ; anterior and intermediate tarsi outwardly fringed with 

 fine long white silky hairs ; posterior tibiae and tarsi nearly subequal 

 in length, posterior femora extending beyond apex of abdomen. 



In some specimens there is a small black spot near the middle of the 

 inner margin of each elytron. Structural characters as those of the 

 genus.
