Hah. Ceylon ; Calboda {Green), 



A single specimen of this distinct species has been sent me 

 by my very helpful friend Mr. E. E. Green, to whom the 

 elucidation of this entomological fauna is so much indebted. 

 Minute structural characters, such as appertain to species, in 

 these delicate and fragile insects are scarcely to be described 

 without the examination of a series of specimens. 



B. Wings unsj^otted.

p. 450 ; Melich. Horn. Faun. Ceylon, p. 02, t. iii, f. 9, a (1903). 



" White, mesonotum (excluding carinse) and veins to tegmina 

 fuscous, areolae to veins moderately infuscate ; costa medially 

 whitely farinose." (Stdl.) 



Length, S,3; exp. tegm. 12 millim. 



Hab. Ceylon (Jlde Stdl). 



I have not seen this species, and have given StaFs description. 

 Melichar's figure hardly conforms to this diagnosis, and it seems 

 that either one or the other of these authors has been a little 

 inexact. 



1871. Rhotana iridipennis, Melich. Horn. Faun. Ceylon, p. 62 (1903). 



" Similar to E. vitriceps., Stal ; body pale reddish ; eyes brown ; 

 tegmina hyaline, glassy, strongly rainbow-like, iridescent, nervures 

 yellow to reddish-yellow, in places dark yellow, transverse nervures 

 faintly margined with brownish, the veins and margins are dull so 

 that they strongly project from the iridescent cells ; apical margin 

 extremely finely margined with red ; abdomen and legs reddisb- 

 yellow." {Melichar.) 



Length, " $ , 5 millim." 



Hah. Ceylon (Nietner, Berlin litis.). 



I only know this species from the above description. 



1872. Rhotana albata, Melich. Horn. Faun. Ceylon, p. 62 (1903). 



" Body white ; mesonotum slightly yellowish ; tegmina milky- 

 white with yellowish-white veins, transverse veins broad, faintly 

 margined with brownish, but the margins separated from the 

 yellowish transverse veins by a pale zone on both sides, apical 

 marginal vein blood-red ; abdomen and legs yellowish-white."
