(2) A', coccinca sp. nov. { $). 



Keels of face contiguous to near apex (in fidicina Kirk, they 

 are not contiguous ) scarlet, antennae, clypeus, legs and genital 

 style yellowish ; tegmina fuscous hyaline, scarlet-veined, except 

 basal half of subcostal, radia, and radial cross vein, which are 

 white, a dark spot at base of third apical-median cell. 



Length of abdomen 2.6 mm. ; tegmen 3.8 mm. 



I include this species in the genus, although it has the facial 

 keels contiguous. 



Nesonciira, Kirk. 



Subgenus of Pyrrhoneura, H. S. P. A. Ent. Bull. Ill p. 171. 

 The presence of a sub-antennal process, and the shape of head 

 in profile, separates this as a genus from Pyrrhoneura. 



Nesokaha gen. nov. 



Type pirocnsis. 



In profile angulate at junction of vertex and face, vertex 

 slightly convex, base of face very slightly concave, then evenly 

 and convexly curved to apex ; vertex triangular, roundly and 

 shallowly emarginate at base, which is without keel ; sides slightly 

 longer than base, with deep keels meeting at apex, studded with 

 wax pits along edges ; face very narrow, keels contiguous to near 

 apex ; clypeus rounded, tricarinate at base ; antennae about twice 

 as long as broad, sense organs well elevated above surface ; sub- 

 antennal process spatulate, with narrow stalk ; gena beneath eyes 

 twice as broad as in front of eyes ; pronotum fairly short, angu- 

 larly emarginate behind, shoulder keels well developed ; scutel- 

 lum about as long as broad, lateral angles about middle, tricari- 

 nate on anterior half. Tegmina pointed at apex and ampliated 

 beyond clavus, neuration as in KaJia, but with two more apical 

 median veins. 



( 1 ) N. pirocnsis sp. nov. ( 9 ). 



Pis. II f. 7, III f. 13. 



Head and thorax dorsally reddish brown, ventrally yellowish, 

 including antennae and legs. Tegmina opaquely fuscous, red 

 veined, which are brightest towards apex of tegmina ; some 

 light and more transparent spots in clavus, cubital and median 

 cells, wings fuscous, dark-veined. 



Length of body 2.6 mm. ; tegmen 4.5 mm. 



Habitat : Piroe, Ceram.
