the table, but as the wing venation of the species has not 
been described, it is not possible to show how it differs from 
the two Ceylon species. 
Anaplecta pulchra, sp. n. 
2. Flavo-testaceous. Antenne fuscous, except the two basal joints, 
and five joints close to the apex which are flavo-testaceous ; pronotum 
with hyaline lateral margins ; tegmina transparent ; wings deeply 
infuscated, the anterior border of the marginal field, the proximal 
halves of the radial, ulnar and first axillary veins yellow ; apex of 
abdomen beneath castaneous, the remainder bright flavous. Tegmina 
with eight costal veins, discoidal field with six longitudinal veins, 
anal vein impressed, axillary veins obsolete. Wings with six costal 
veins, the radial vein bifurcated, the median vein curved distally up 
towards the radial vein, the medio-discal field crossed by one proximal 
transverse venule, first axillary vein tri-ramose, apical area nearly 
half the total wing-length. Supra-anal lamina produced, trigonal. 
Total length 6 mm. ; length of tegmina 4°5 mm.

Museum), 
Anaplecta dahomensis, n. sp. (Plate XVI, fig. 2.) 
dg and ¢. Fusco-castaneous. Labrum and clypeus rufous ; 
apical seven joints of antenne testaceous, the last tipped with 
fuscous. Prothorax piceous, its lateral margins broadly bordered 
with semi-opaque white. Tegmina entirely fusco-castaneous, with 
eight to nine costal veins, the discoidal field traversed by four 
longitudinal veins which are strongly marked. Wings hyaline, the 
marginal field and apical area infuscated, the axillary area iridescent 
fuscous ; six to seven costal veins, the radial vein bifurcated but 
the branches soon reunite forming an areolet which is crossed by a 
transverse venule, the median vein obsolescent proximally where it 
is joined by a transverse venule to the radial vein, the ulnar vein 
simple, the first axillary vein tri-ramose, apical area nearly one-half 
of total wing-length, its basal margin straight. Second and third 
pairs of legs and cerci testaceous, first pair of legs fuscous, except the 
distal extremity of the tibiz and tarsi. 
Total length 5 mm. ; length of tegmina 4:2 mm. 
Atutimé, Danomey. <A long series (Oxford Museum). 
The species differs from A. cincta, Gerst., by the absence 
of a white border to the tegmina, by the strongly-marked 
veins of discoidal field of the tegmina, by the different colour 
of the legs.
