TIVAHA. 



30: 



transverse fascia before middle commeuciug beneath the costal 

 membrane, and the apical area (obliquely rounded to apex) 

 sanguineous ; in some specimens the apical area is subhyaline, 



with its margins and venation 

 :'; sanguineous, in others the inter- 



cellular spaces are fuscous-brown ; 

 tegmina with three prominent 

 longitudinal veins, of which the 

 upper and lower are bifurcate, 

 the apical area with numerous 

 transverse veins, forminga number 

 1 of somewhat small cellular areas, 

 of which about the upper apical 

 four are longitudinal, followed 

 by six medial oblique areas, and 

 again by about five posterior, 

 marginal, shorter, and moderately

distinctly concavely emarginate 

 before apex; wings creamy-white, the venation somewhat pro- 

 minent.

Genus VIVAHA, nov. 



Type, V. facicdis, Dist. 



Distribution. Oriental Eegion. * 



Head (including eyes) much narrower than pronotum, the vertex 

 longly produced in front of eyes into a broadly laminate process, 

 very narrow and centrally sulcata above, laterally very broad and 

 flattened, its apex rounded, its margins carinate, face small and 

 marginally carinate ; rostrum mutilated in the two specimens 

 available for description ; pronotum very short, basally deeply 

 angularly emarginate; mesonotum tricarinate ; legs moderatelv 

 long and slender ; tegmina considerably ampliated towards apex, 

 the costal margin a little convex, the apical margin truncate, a 

 little obliquely angulate anteriorly and posteriorly, the posterior 

 margin concavely sinuate before the commencement of the apical 

 area, the lower longitudinal vein furcate beyond its middle, 

 oblique veins on lower half of apical area separating five distinct, 

 long, oblique, cellular areas, followed by about four shorter ones, 

 there are also four apical marginal areas ; ^^•ings shorter and a 

 little narrower than tegmina. 



This genus is founded on the examination of two specimens, 

 both of which, as regards the condition of face and clypeus, leave 

 much to be desired. The extraordinary cephalic process is its 

 principal distinctive character.
