28. Torbda fulgidipennis, Cam. (Plate I, fig. 2.) 

 Torbda fulgidipennis, Cameron,* Entom. 1902, p. 19 ( 5 ). 



Ferruginous, with the thorax and abdomen marked with black 

 clypeus distinctly discrete ; basal half of petiole distinctly nar- 

 rowed ; petiole sharply marginate above and below ; apical seg- 

 ment with a small triangular depression in its centre, whence an 

 obscure sulcus runs obliquely down either side ; abdominal seg- 

 ments lined with black at the base only : legs ferruginous, with 

 the posterior coxse marked with black. Wings fulvescent, with 

 the stigma fulvous and the nervures black ; recurrent nervure 

 emitted from apical third of areolet ; lower part of cubital nervure 

 basally straight, oblique and parallel with the basal nervure. 



Length 27 millim. ; terebra 13 millim. 



ASSAM : Khasi Hills (Rotlmey}. 



Type in the Oxford Museum. 



A magnificent dark fulvous species, with deep fulvescent wings, 

 45 millim. in expanse ; the areolet twice as broad as long and 

 emitting the recurrent nervure nearer its apex than in the pre- 

 ceding species ; the apical half of the inner cubitus is distinctly 

 sinuate and the basal metanotal trans-carina strong ; the black 

 apices of both the fulvous antenna? and terebra are conspicuous. 



29. Torbda apicalis, Cam. 



Torbda apicalis, Cameron,* Entom. 1902, p. 19 ( ). 



Ferruginous ; thoracic marks, apices of antenna) broadly, anus 

 and terebra black ; clypeus distinctly discrete ; basal half of 

 petiole distinctly narrowed ; petiole sharply marginate above and 

 below ; third and following abdominal segments deep black; apical 

 dorsal segment with an elongate longitudinal discal impression. 

 Wings violaceo-hyaline, basally paler; stigma and nervures black; 

 recurrent nervure emitted from apical third of stigma ; lower part 

 of cubital nervure basally straight, oblique and parallel with the 

 basal nervure. 



Length 18 millim. ; terebra 11 millim. 



ASSAM : Khasi Hills (Itothney). 



Type in the Oxford Museum. 



Eemarkably similar to the last species, of which I should regard 

 it as a variety were it not that the apophyses are distinctly pro- 

 minent ; in other respects it differs only in its smaller size, im- 

 maculate fulvous hind coxa?, the paler wings, the entirely black 

 terebra and abdomen from base of third segment, the black stigma 

 and hardly sinuate apical half of inner cubital cell.
