PARUZELIA.

of the three basal lougitudinal veins the third is forked, and they 

 are connected by several trans vere veins which constitute irregu- 

 larly formed celkdar areas ; wings hyaline, broad, short ; legs 

 simple, posterior tibite with two spines. 



I include this genus in the Tro]nducIiince on Melichar's authoi'ity, 

 and have given what I hope are the salient points in his description. 



1830. Paruzelia psyllomorpha, Melich. Horn. Faun. Ceylon, p. o\, 

 t. iii, f. 2,a-c{imi). 



" Body yellowish-brown, vertex yellowish-white in middle with a 

 fine longitudinal line which forms a short fork; face with the 



sides yellowish, the marginal 

 ridges more or less dark yellow, 

 and with an oblique reddish- 

 brown transverse streak, upper 

 half dirty yellow set with fine 

 diverging yellow hairs ; clypeus 

 resembling face ; eyes brown ; 

 antennas yellowish ; pronotum 

 with several indistinct rusty- 

 yellow spots, which give a mar- 

 bled appearance to its surface ; 

 mesonotum brown, the longi- 

 tudinal ridges paler, a large 

 brown spot on side borders, a 

 paler marginal spot before apex ;

tegmina hyaline, the veins brown and decorated with brown spots, 

 which coalesce but are here and there separated by red veins ; 

 wings hyaline, with a broad transverse band at middle ; thorax 

 and abdomen piceous ; legs pale yellowish ; posterior tibiie with a 

 dark annulatiou before middle.

I have reproduced Melichar's description and figures. 



The following species must be included in the Trojnduchince, but 

 its genei'ic position cannot be stated with any certitude, as I am 

 unable to see any of Dr. Melichar's cotypes. 



1831. Gen.? melichari, sp. n. 



Epora subtiHtis, Melich. {nee Walk.) Horn. Faun. Ceylon, p. 48, 

 t. i, f. 11, a-e (1903). 



I have already pointed out (ante, p. 283) the confusion which 

 attaches to this species, but I refrain from reproducing the figure, 

 as its generic position can only with accuracy be determined by the 

 examination of a specimen. As Dr. Melichar has given both 

 Ceylon and Bombay as its habitats, it is more than probable that 

 an example at least will be procured from India or Ceylon in time 

 for insertion in an appendix to these volumes.
