following species with Walker’s type and find that they 
are quite different from it; gyrinoides, Wlk., also from 
Ceylon is undoubtedly a species of Anaplecta. ‘The genus 
has not hitherto been recorded from Ceylon. A. maculata 
falls into the section of the genus that includes A. major, 
Sss. and Zhnt., A. dohrniana, Sss. and Zhnt. 
Anaplecta zylanica, n. sp. (Plate XV, fig. 8.) 
. Small ; rufo-castaneous ; pronotum and tegmina with the lateral 
margins hyaline ; legs and cerci testaceous. Tegmina with six costal 
veins, discoidal field with three longitudinal veins. Wings with the 
apical area, marginal field and veins pale fuscous, six costal veins, 
marginal field slightly dilated, medio-discal field crossed by four 
transverse venulw and the median vein connected with the ulnar vein 
by two transverse venule near the apex, first axillary vein tri-ramose, 
apical area parabolic, its basal margin not angled, nearly one-half of 
total wing-length. Supra-anal lamina produced, trigonal. 
Total length, 4 mm. ; length of tegmina, 3°7 mm.

Museum). 
It is possible that the species is conspecific with A. /ulva, 
Br., from Burma, but the description of that species does 
not include an account of the wing venation. 
Anaplecta thwaitesi, n. sp. (Plate XV, fig. 9.) 
?. Head castaneous ; pronotum castaneous with broad hyaline 
lateral margins ; tegmina flavo-hyaline, wings with the apical area, 
marginal field and veins fuscous ; abdomen fuscous; legs and cerci 
testaceous. Tegmina with eleven costal veins, the ulnar vein multi- 
ramose, the bases of the mediastinal and median veins and the anal 
vein strongly marked with castaneous. Wings with six costal veins, 
their extremities swollen, the marginal field dilated, the first bifur- 
cated and connected with the humeral branch of the radial vein by 
an oblique venula, a transverse venula joins the humeral and discoidal 
branches of the radial vein near their point of origin, medio-discal 
field crossed by five transverse venulw, ulnar vein bifurcate, first 
axillary vein quadri-ramose, apical area parabolic, its base slightly 
obtusely angled, two-fifths of total wing-length. Supra-anal lamina 
produced, trigonal, slightly emarginate. 
Total length 6 mm. ; length of tegmina 5 mm.
