ANOMALON. 423 



ASSAM : Khasi Hills (Eothney). 



Type in the British Museum. 



The broken type of this species shows very remarkable venation: 

 the median uervure runs straight to its junction with the cubital, 

 which is strongly sinuate and only extends to the centre of the 

 first cubital cell ; the second recurrent nervure above is four 

 times further from the apex of the internal cubital than the 

 latter is from the radial ; nervellus subopposite and strongly 

 intercepted a little below the centre.
