196 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



mediate coxae ; sternum coarsely and somewhat sparingly punctate, 

 the abdomen thickly and rugosely punctate; legs unarmed, tibijfi 

 above longitudinally sulcate. Long. <? 17 millim., j 18 millim. 



Hab. Bombay Province ; Dbarwar. 



This first discovered Oriental species of the hitherto regarded 

 Ethiopian genus Anasida was found by Dr. Harold Mann among 

 stones in a railway cutting. 



This species is allied to A.funehns, Dist., from Natal, and 

 is the first species of the genus described from outside the 

 Ethiopian region. 



HOMOPTEEA. 



Fam. JASSID^. 



Subfam. LEDRINiE. 



Petalocephala granulosa, sp. n. 



Pale virescent ; vertex shorter than breadth between eyes, finely 

 punctate, centrally longitudinally finely subcarinate, the lateral mar- 

 gins oblique from a little in front of eyes, and narrowing to apex which 

 is subacute ; eyes brownish ; pronotum with the basal area a little 

 darker in hue, where it is finely granulose, the lateral and anterior 

 margins distinctly narrowly darker, the posterior margin strongly 

 concave before scutellum, which is somewhat thickly finely punctate ; 

 clavus thickly punctate, and with a few fine granules ; tegmina sub- 

 hyaline, thickly finely punctate, the apical margin narrowly black, 

 inwardly narrowly longly dentate ; body beneath and legs virescent. 

 Long, inch tegm. 8 millim. 



Hah. Bengal; Pusa (Lefroy). 



Most nearly allied to P. nigrilinea, Walk. 



Mr, Maxwell-Lefroy, in forwarding me specimens of this 

 species, says: — "We have reared this from nymphs which are 

 fixed to mango-leaf, very tightly pressed down on to it so as to 

 be very difficult to see ; they are more or less transparent, and 

 sit motionless very much as a scale-insect does. They are not 

 common." 



Subfam. TYPHLOCYBIN.E. 



Empoasca thea, sp. n. 



Bright pale olivaceous green ; eyes black ; tegmina either with 

 the apical area greyish white, or greyish white with the basal area 

 and costal margin green ; body beneath and legs pale olivaceous 

 green ; vertex rounded, more than twice as broad than long; scutellum 

 strongly transversely impressed before apex ; tegmina considerably 

 passing abdominal apex, with a distinct elongate discal cell before the 

 apical cells. Long, inch tegm. 4 milhm. 



Hab. Cachar (Antram). 



Mr. Charles B. Antram sent me this species, found as a 

 very destructive pest to tea-gardens in company with E.Jiave- 

 scens, Eabr. 



I use the genus Empoasca in the comprehensive sense ex- 

 plained in my 'Indian Rhynchota,' iv. p. 401.
