of sternum and abdomen, and anal segment, reddish ocliraceous ; 

 abdomen beneath shining black, sternum dull opaque black. 

 Long. 5 mm. ; max. lat. 5 mm. 



Hab. Sikkim (Calc. Mus. and coll. Dist.). 



The head is prominent, rounded in front, and not perceptibly 

 sinuated in front of eyes ; the ocelli are situate wide apart, rather 

 nearer to the eyes than to each other, and the tibiae are sulcated 

 above. 



ASOPINiE. 

 Sesha, 11. g. 

 Head somewhat long and prominent, concavely sinuate at 

 lateral margins, lobes about equal in length, lateral lobes with 

 their edges distinctly raised and carinate ; ocelli wide apart, 

 nearer to eyes than to each other. Pronotum with the disk 

 gibbous, the margins carinate, the anterior angles obtusely spinous, 

 the lateral angles produced into long slender spines, the anterior 

 margin concave, the lateral margins between the anterior and 

 lateral angles broadly sinuate, between the lateral angles and base 

 also deeply sinuate, the base nearly straight. Scutellum short and 

 broad, reaching a little beyond the base of membrane, the lateral 

 angles somewhat acutely sinuate at middle, the apex broadly 

 rounded. Corium slightly ampliated towards the middle of lateral 

 margin. Membrane extending considerably beyond apex of abdo- 

 men. Rostrum reaching the intermediate coxse. A raised and 

 somewhat triangular plate between the posterior coxae. Anterior 

 femora with a strong spine beneath near apex ; anterior tibiae 

 laminately ampliated on each side along apical half, much more 

 strongly so outwardly. 



This genus is allied to Cazira. 



Scslia manifesto,, n. s. (PL XII., fig. 2). 

 Body above pale stramineous, with the following dark blue 

 shining spots: two at base of head attached to eyes; five on pro- 

 notum, two transverse near anterior margin, and three more oblong 

 across disk ; four on scutellum, two basal and two subapical, the 

 basal much the largest ; and two on corium, one at about centre of 

 lateral margin, and one at apex, which is smallest. Membrane 

 pale fuscous-hyaline, with some dark bluish spots near base, and 

 the apex fuscous. Body beneath dark bluish; antennae, rostrum, 

 legs, prosternum, lateral margin of abdomen (narrowly), and 

 some irregular lateral spots, a central longitudinal macular
