 with the venation darker, costal membrane arched, not sinuate, 

 apical margin truncate, the posterior angle moderately produced, 

 costal membrane nearly t^^•ice as broad as radial area, transverse 

 reticulations on outer disk almost extending to subapical trans- 

 verse line, clavus above claval vein with a few strong transverse 

 veins, beneath the vein, darkly granulose on basal half, on basal 

 area there are a few scattered pieeous granules ; wings pale

Hah. Ceylon; Putalam (G^rem). 



This species differs from the generic characters of Seliza, at 

 least as I regard them, by having the costal membrane of the 

 tegmina nearly twice as broad as the radial area, and the costal 

 margin convex, not sinuate.

Type, G. abclominalis, Kirby. 



Distribution. Oriental E-egion. 



Head (including eyes) a little narrower than pronotum ; vertex 

 somewhat lougly subtriangularly produced in front of eyes, 

 its lateral margins straight immediately before eyes and then 

 obliquely narrowed to apex, which is slightly conically tuberculous ; 

 face longer than broad, obliquely narrowed at base, centrally 

 carinate, the carination becoming evanescent posteriorly, the 

 lateral margins from where they cease to be obliquely narrowed
