Melichar (supra) has proposed some unfortunate synonymy 

 respecting this species. The Cromna nasalis, Walk. (List 

 Horn., Suppl. p. 120, 1858), which he includes, he has pre- 

 viously (loc. cit. p. 40) rightly placed as a synonym of 

 Euphanta munda, Walk. Poeciloptera viridissima, Walk., 

 placed as another synonym, is a species of Acanalonia,= 

 A. varipennis, Walk. Another species included by Melichar, 

 Flatoides simplex, Walk. (Journ. Liun. Soc. Lond., Zool. x. 

 p. 143, 1868), is not even a Flatid, but belongs to the Tropi- 

 duchinae and to the genus Ficarasa, Walk. Poeciloptera 

 roseicincta, Walk. (Journ. Ent. i. p. 313, 1862), another 

 inclusion, belongs to the genus Parasalurnis, whilst Nephesa 

 grata, Walk., which heads the synonymic list, can rightly be 

 left in Nephesa where Walker placed it. 



Colgar rufostigmata, sp. n. 



Bodv and legs very pale virescent ; abdomen above and 

 body beneath more or less greyishly tomeutose ; tegmina very 

 pale virescent, sometimes almost greyish white, the costal 

 margin from end of costal membrane and the apical margin 

 continued to apex of clavus very narrowly sanguineous (in 

 some specimens the marginal coloration is obsolete), a promi- 

 nent sanguineous spot near middle of tegmen, and a smaller 

 spot of the same colour nearer base ; wings milky white ; 

 vertex scarcely or only slightly longer than pronotum, finely 

 centrally longitudinally carinate ; face with the sublateral 

 carinations reaching margin of clypeus ; pronotum very 

 indistinctly carinate; mesonotum faintly tricarinate; teg- 

 mina slightly less than twice as long as broad, their apical 

 margins subtruncate, costal margin moderately arched at 

 base ; claval area subprominently granulose.
