88 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 



The long black antennae densely covered with a short white 

 microscopic pile, as are also the thorax and abdomen. The upper 

 half of pleurae closely, minutely punctured ; the scutellum is less 

 distinctly punctured, its sides densely pilose. Metanotum very 

 smooth and shining. Abdomen very closely, uniformly, and 

 rather strongly punctured ; the apices of the third and following 

 segments narrowly rufous at the apex. Scutellum triangular, 

 broad at the base. The second cubital cellule is widened at the 

 base, the first transverse cubital nervure being very obliquely 

 sloped. The anal nervure in the fore wing issues from shortly 

 below the middle of the transverse nervure. The lower half of 

 the base of the mesopleurae is depressed compared with the upper. 



Rhogadin^. 



Paraspinaria, gen. nov. 



Abdomen with seven segments ; the first longer than broad, the 

 central area large, wide ; the second segment without an area ; 

 the sides depressed at the basal half ; ovipositor short, hardly 

 projecting. Metanotum irregularly reticulated ; the sides at the 

 apex, with a long stout tooth. Hind wings with an enclosed 

 probrachial cellule, reaching shortly beyond the middle of the 

 basal abscissa of the cubitus ; the nervure broadly rounded at 

 the apex ; the cubitus and radius complete ; there are no other 

 apical nervures. Lower part of mesopleurae depressed, clearly 

 separated from the upper ; the hind edge of mesosternum has a 

 stout conical tooth. Radial cellule long reaching to the apex of 

 the wing ; apical abscissa of cubitus longer than the basal two 

 united ; recurrent nervure received in the first cubital cellule. 

 Antennae longer than the body ; temples obliquely narrowed ; 

 occiput almost transverse, margined. Palpi long. 



The affinities of this genus are clearly with Spinaria. That 

 genus may be known from it by the abdomen having only 

 five segments, these being spined and longitudinally striated ; its 

 anal nervure is interstitial and the prothorax has a spine as a 

 rule. The antennae in my genus are placed opposite the middle 

 of the eyes, which are incised. The pronotum is large ; its 

 centre at the base is triangular, the rest is depressed at the sides 

 and apex. Abdomen as long as the head and thorax united.
