" Body rusty-yellow : head and eyes distinctly narrower than 

 prouotum ; vertex and face whitish-yellou- ; clypeus broader than 

 face, longly triangular, convex, tricarinate ; eyes black ; prouotum 

 in middle very narrowly and on the sides more broadly pale 

 yellow ; mesonotum convex, a little longer than broad, rusty- 

 yellow, above and covering the three longitudinal ridges are three 

 lougitudinal white fascite, sometimes the lateral margins are also 

 whitish ; tegmina very long, narrow, rounded at apices, hyaline, 

 of a yellowish colour, veins thickened and rusty-yello\\', the outer- 

 most longitudinal vein forked before middle, the branches parallel, 

 enclosing a long narrow cell, the outer branch sending several 

 oblique white transverse veins to costal vein, which is also white, 

 the inner fork running bifurcately into the apical tip, and emitting 

 before this two branches to costal margin, the second longitudinal 

 vein runs parallel with the first to apical margin, \A'ith the inner 

 fork of which it is connected about the middle of tegmen by a 

 strong, short, brown-bordered transverse vein, from this lougi- 

 tudinal vein several branches run obliquel}" across the corium to 

 the margins of the wings and are connected with brown-bordered 

 cross-veins ; a forked vein in clavus ; wings small ; abdomen 

 rusty -brown, margins of dorsal segments rusty-yellow, two distinct

 p. 59, t. ii, f. 14 (1903). 



The species described and figured by Dr. Melichar as T. nitagal- 

 ensis, Kirby, is apparently a true Zoraida, and represents a species 

 allied to Z. cunndata, Walk., from ^^•hich it appears to be princi- 

 pally distinguished by a series of dark spots for more tbau half 

 the length of the costal area, and by two large transverse dark 

 spots on the apical area.
