following species with Walker's type and find that they 

 are quite different from it ; gyrinoides, Wlk., also from 

 Ceylon is undoubtedly a species of Anaplecta. The genus 

 has not hitherto been recorded from Ceylon. A. maculata 

 falls into the section of the genus that includes A. major, 

 Sss. and Zhnt., A. dohrniana, Sss. and Zhnt. 



Anaplecta zeylanica, n. sp. (Plate XV, fig. 8.) 



5 . Small ; rufo-castaneons ; pronotum and tegmina with the lateral 

 margins hyaline ; legs and cerci testaceous. Tegmina with six costal 

 veins, discoidal field with three longitudinal veins. Wings with the 

 apical area, marginal field and veins pale fuscous, six costal veins, 

 marginal field slightly dilated, medio-discal field crossed by four 

 transverse venule and the median vein connected with the ulnar vein 

 by two transverse venula? near the apex, first axillary vein tri-ramose, 

 apical area parabolic, its basal margin not angled, nearly one-half of 

 total wing-length. Supra-anal lamina produced, trigonal. 



Total length, 4 mm. ; length of tegmina, 3-7 mm. 



Ceylon (Thwaites, 1872). One example (Oxford 

 Museum). 



It is possible that the species is conspecific with A.fulva, 

 Br., from Burma, but the description of that species does 

 not include an account of the wing venation. 



Anaplecta thivaitesi, n. sp. (Plate XV, fig. 9.) 



$ . Head castaneous ; pronotum castaneous with broad hyaline 

 lateral margins ; tegmina flavo-hyaline, wings with the apical area, 

 marginal field and veins fuscous ; abdomen fuscous ; legs and cerci 

 testaceous. Tegmina with eleveii costal veins, the ulnar vein multi- 

 ramose, the bases of the mediastinal and median veins and the anal 

 vein strongly marked with castaneous. Wings with six costal veins, 

 their extremities swollen, the marginal field dilated, the first bifur- 

 cated and connected with the humeral branch of the radial vein by 

 an oblique vennla, a transverse venula joins the humeral and discoidal 

 branches of the radial vein near their point of origin, medio-discal 

 field crossed by five transverse venula;, ulnar vein bifurcate, first 

 axillary vein quadri-ramose, apical area parabolic, its base slightly 

 obtusely angled, two-fifths of total wing-length. Supra-anal lamina 

 produced, trigonal, slightly emarginate. 



Total length 6 mm. ; length of tegmina 5 mm. 



Ceylon (TJnoaites). One example (Oxford Museum).
