192 Mite De nA. Cockerell— Descriptions and 
Crocisa reductula, sp. n. 
? .—Length 11 mm. 
With pure white markings. Also similar to C. ramosella, 
but more slender, and also differing thus: anterior meso- 
thoracic spots a little broader than long (conspicuously 
longer than broad in ramosella) ; a very small spot instead 
of a stripe on each lateral margin of mesothorax ; emargina- 
tion of scutellum forming a much wider angle; first two 
abdominal segments with strong purple tints on basal half ; 
' transverse extension of marks at sides of first segment short 
aud pointed ; third and fourth segments with only spots 
placed some distance from the lateral margins, fifth with a 
pair of large round spots placed more laterally ; last ventral 
segment conspicuously produced ; white hair on outer side 
of hind tibize confined to basal half. 
Bababuddin Hills, Mysore, 4700 ft., June 1, 1915. 
Crocisa ramakrishne, sp. n. 
? .—Length about 12 mm. 
With very pale blue markings, which are not shining, 
Median stripe of mesothorax long, extending to front 
margin; anterior lateral spots rather small, longer than 
broad; lateral margins with complete stripes, very narrow 
posteriorly ; posterior spots of mesothorax pyriform, pointed 
mesad ; scutellum without spots, shining, sparsely punctured, 
the hind margin W-like, a tuft of white hair beneath the 
emargination ; mesopleura with a large hairless coarsely 
punctured space in middle; anterior wings fuliginous ; 
tibiz and basitarsi with bluish-white hair on outer side, 
hardly going beyond middle on hind tibie. Abdomen with 
very broadly interrupted blue bands, the basal band of first 
segment narrow, and rather narrowly interrupted ; pygidial 
plate with a weak keel not reaching its base. In my table 
in ‘ Entomologist,’ 1910, p. 217, this runs to C. decora, 
Smith, which has a broad basal band on first abdominal 
segment, and is otherwise quite distinct. It also fails to 
find a place in the tables of Friese and Bingham, and is 
uulike any described Indian species.
