PANISCUS. 355 



Ferruginous ; head with the eyes, ocelli and apices of antennae 

 infuscate ; abdomen falcate, glabrous and nitidulous ; tarsal claws 

 black ; wings hyaline and iridescent, with the costa and stigma pale 

 ferruginous, nervures ferruginous, areolet oblique and triangular. 



Length 11 millim. 



PUXJAB : Murree (Dr. Stoliczka). 



The type was in poor condition, and was not figured by 

 Waterhouse. 



252. Paniscus orientalis, Cam. 



Paniscus orientalis, Cameron, Spolia Zeylanica, 1905, p. 126 ( $ ), 



. A red and almost immaculate species. Head with the orbits^ 

 narrowly pale flavous and the ocellar region black ; face strongly 

 and closely, clypeus sparsely, punctate, with the latter broadly 

 rounded apically. Antenncp. dark red, becoming subinfuscate 

 apically. Thorax with mesonotum subglabrous and but very 

 finely punctate, notauli distinct onlj 7 on the apical two-thirds ; 

 metanotum closely and strongly trans -striate, with the base 

 glabrous ; pleurae closely and distinctly punctate, much more 

 stronglv than the mesonotum, with the pro- and meso-pleurse 

 closely, distinctly, and obliquely striate below. Scutellum more 

 strongly punctate than the mesonotum, with lateral carinse stout 

 and not coalescing apically. Abdomen immaculate. Leys red, 

 with the tarsal setae elongate. Wings hyaline, with the stigma 

 testaceous and the nervures black ; second recurrent nervure 

 unisinuate ; nervelet wanting ; nerveilus intercepted slightly above 

 its centre. 



Length 13 millim. 



BOMBAY : Belgaum, ix. 10 (N. B. Kinnear) ; CEYLOJST : Punda- 

 luoya (E. E. Green, type). 



Similar to, though larger than, P. intermedium and differing 

 therefrom in its deeper rufescent coloration, nerveilus intercepted 

 nearer its centre, scutellar carinae not apically coalescent, vertex 

 broader and less obliquely constricted posteriorly, and in the 

 metapleural carinae being much more broadly developed, especially 

 basally. 



I have seen two specimens in the Calcutta Museum, from 

 Knyvett's Sikkim collection, which may belong to this species, but 

 Cameron's description is so featureless and the presumptive 

 representatives in so bad a condition that it is impossible to 

 reconcile them with any degree of certainty.
