 obliquely narrowed immediately before clypeus, which is strongly 

 centrally ridged ; pronotum A^ery jiarrow, its lateral areas strongly 

 oblique, deeply angidarly emarginate posteriorly, all its margins 

 carinate and with two contiguous central carinations ; mesonotum 

 tricarinate ; legs moderately long and slender, posterior tibiae with 

 three spines ; tegmina a little ampliated apically, the costal 

 membrane Avith numerous obliquely transverse veins, two series of 

 transverse veins considerably beyond middle, dividing numerous

Melichar (Hom. Faun. Cey- 

 lon, t. i, f. 11) has figured a 

 species as Ej)ora subtilis, which 

 if compared with Walker's 

 figure will at once prove that 

 two species have been con- 

 fused with scarcely any cha- 

 racters in common ; in fact

congeneric. In Melichar's 

 figure the transverse veins to the costal membrane of the tegmina 

 are straight, there is no regular division of the subapical and 

 apical areas, the shape of the pronotum is totally different, and so 

 apparently is that of the head.

Head narrower than pronotum ; vertex a little broader than 

 long, its margins carinate, its disk concave, with a slight central, 

 longitudinal ridge ; face long, its lateral areas moderately oblique, 

 centrally and laterally strongly carinate ; clypeus centrally carinate, 

 its lateral margins simple ; pronotum scarcely longer than vertex, 

 tricarinate, its posterior margin concavely angularly emarginate ; 

 mesonotum tricarinate ; legs moderately long and slender, posterior 

 tibiae with about three spines ; tegmina long and narrow, their 

 apices somewhat conically rounded, costal membrane without 

 transverse veins, of the three basal longitudinal veins the upper 

 and lower forked, two series of transA'erse veins, the first nearly
