A NEW Genus of Cryptin^ prom Ceylon. 

 Bathy crisis, gen. nov. 

 Abdominal petiole of equal width throughout, the post-petiole 

 not being dilated ; it is long and slender. Median segment with 

 two transverse keels ; its spiracles about three times longer than 

 wide. Transverse median nervure in hind wings broken below the 

 middle. Disco-cubital nervure broken by a stump of a nervure. 

 Areolet of almost equal width throughout. Apex of clypeus 

 depressed, broadly rounded, above clearly separated from the face, 

 which is dilated in the centre above, there being thus a depres- 

 sion between its apex and the clypeus. Flagellum of antennae 

 densely pilose, the first joint longer than the second. Front 

 deeply excavated ; a stout keel above each antenna. Eyes dis- 

 tinctly, roundly incised on the inner side ; the malar space 

 moderate. Parapsidal furrows deep, wide, reaching to the middle. 

 There is a wide, deep, curved furrow on the base of the metanotum ; 

 there is no area there. Thorax strongly rugosely punctured. 

 The abdomen is more slender than usual.
