nervure of the upper and lower basal nervures, which in this one 

 only are not, subcontinuous.

Type in the British Museum. 



Genus BATHYMEEIS, Cam. 

 Bathymeris, Cameron, Entomologist, 1906, p. 251. 



GEXOIYPE, B. lonyipes, Cam. 



Head acutely dilated behind the internally parallel eyes ; rnan- 

 clibles of unequal length ; clypeus laterally bordered by a deeply 

 impressed triangular sulcus and by a narrower one above, basally 

 broadly impressed. Antennae of normal length, with their apical 

 joints subserrate and transverse. Metathorax elongate, of equal 

 width and closely reticulate throughout. Abdomen with no 

 transverse or oblique impressions ; first segment elongate and 

 basally half its apical breadth ; second longer than broad ; third 

 q uadrate and the remainder transverse ; abdomen elongate, narrower 

 than the thorax and apically attenuate. Legs long and slender. 

 Wings with no areolet, the second recurrent of the fore wing 

 partly pellucid, and the first of the hind wing intercepted far 

 above the centre. 



Range. Sikkim, Burma. 



This genus is said by its author to be closely related to Xorides, 

 but to differ therefrom in its parallel-sided face and unequal 

 mandibles, which are apically edentate and obtusely rounded. It 

 would also appear to approach Xylonomus in the facial conforma- 

 tion, but the height at which the nervellus intercepts will render 

 it distinct. Of the European genera, Pcemenia appears to run 

 very close and to be distinguished from Bathymeris by little but 

 the length of the third and fourth segments.

Bathymeris longipes, Cameron,* Entom. 1906, p. 251 () 



A black species with profuse flavous markings. Head black and 

 glabrous, with the cheeks alone white-pilose ; face flavous ; the 

 two basal ocelli as far from each other as from the eyes. Antennae 

 with the flagellum closely and obsoletely pilose, its basal joint dis- 

 tinctly shorter than the second. Thorax black, with a line on 

 the lower part of the smooth and finely acicnlate propleura3, the 

 large and strigose mesopleural callosities, and an elongate line 

 beneath the hind radices, flavous ; mesonotum closely and finely 

 punctate, with the notauli and basal impression densely aci- 

 culate ; metathorax more closely reticulate discally. ScuteUum 

 and postscutellum much more coarsely punctate than the meso- 

 notum, immaculate. Abdomen black, with the base of the first
