ATBACIS. 451 



with the costal membrane very broad, four or five times wider 

 than the radial area, the margin more or less erosed and sinuate, 

 with four imperfectly detiued brownish transverse? fasciae on its basal 

 area, the last parallel with the discal transverse fascia, bej^ond 

 this the costal membrane is sparini^ly irregularly brownly spotted, 

 the tegmina are internally suffused with pale brown and the outer 

 disk before costal membrane irregularly sparingly spotted with the 

 same colour, the apical area possesses a number of tine pale brown 

 longitudinal spots. 



Length iucl, tegm. 15 millim.

The above figure represents the type ; the figure given by 

 Melichar may represent another species, as the head is distinctly 

 shown as longer and broader than in A. indka.

Vertex of liead, pronotum, and mesonotum dull virescent, body 

 beneath and legs ochraceous ; mesonotum with a sublateral black 

 fascia on each side ; tegmina greenish, more ochraceous on costal 

 membrane, veins darker, and the whole surface more or less 

 cretaceously tomentose ; a piceous slightly oblique transverse 

 fascia a little beyond the area of the posterior angle of mesonotum 

 and terminating at inner margin of costal membrane ; vertex of 

 head a little longer, but resembling in structure that of A. indica ; 

 face about twice as long as broad, the lateral margins before 

 eyes sinuatelv narrowed to anterior margin, which is rounded with 

 tiie anterior lateral angles prominent, from eyes to apex a little 

 rounded and widened, two large black spots at anterior margin ; 

 posterior tibiae with a single spine ; pronotum shorter than vertex 

 and anteriorly truncate ; mesonotum with a small tubercle before 

 anterior margin, followed by a small transverse carination on each 

 side ; tegmina in general structure as in A. indica, but the trans- 

 verse veins on each side of the median suture much more raised 

 and prominent, spots on apical area larger, and also distinguished 

 by the cretaceous tomentosity. 



Length inch tegm. 18 millim.

I identify a Ceylonese specimen described above as Melichar's 

 species. Apart from the different colour and appearance of the 

 tegmina, it is to be separated from A. indica by the slightly longer 

 vertex and face.
