Head and thorax above brownish-olivaceous ; abdomen above 

 piceous, much cretaceously tomentose and with the seg- 

 mental margins a little ochraeeous ; body beneath and legs 

 piceous, anal appendage sanguineous ; tegmina pale greenish or 

 greenish-brown, with somewhat large scattered black spots, of 

 which about six are situate on the costal area, about apical thii'd 

 with the venation closel_y reticulate and the reticulate areas 

 piceous, thus giving it a much darker appearance ; wings with 

 naore than basal halt" sanguineous spotted with black, a pale 

 bluish-greeu transverse macular fascia before apical area, which is 

 black. 



Length excl. tegm. 15 to 15^ ; exp. tegm. 41 to 53 millim.

I include this species on a doubtful locality of Atkinson, though 

 there is every probability that it occurs in the confines of British 

 India. It is allied to L. imper'udis, from which it differs by the 

 little more elevated cephalic process and the smaller spots to the 

 tegmina and wings. The var. oj^erom. Walk., diiiers only in 

 the more testaceous hue of the tegmina, and the greyish not 

 bluish-green macular transverse fascia to the wings.

" Blackish ; the lateral posterior blotch on the vertex, thorax, 

 lateral margins of mesonotum, and the tegmina more or less 

 piu'ely green-olivaceous ; the tegmina with 23-28 largish black 

 spots, tlie nearly third a]:)ical area black, green-veined ; wings 

 coccineous, with 8-10 black spots, piceous behind the middle, and 

 there with a shortened fascia green or bluish-green ; anal valvules 

 in female sanguineous." 



Length excl. tegm. 17 ; exp. tegm. 52 millim. 



Hah. " India orientalis " (iStocl-hoIm Mas.). 



Closely allied to L. delicatida, but larger (this remark of Stal's 

 is evidently based on an examination of small specimens of 

 delicatida), cephalic process less prominent, and spots on tegmina 

 and wings larger. 



I have not seen this species, and have reproduced Stal's 

 description.
