Genus ASYLANA, nov. 



Type, A. punjabensis, Dist. 



Distribution. North India. 



Head about as long as breadth between outer margins of eyes, 

 the lateral areas distinctly reflexed, the lateral margins angulated 

 near eyes, apices of lateral lobes outwardly obtusely angulate, 

 slightly concavely sinuate, not rounded as in Asyla; antennae 

 with the basal joint not quite reaching apex of head, second joint 

 longer than the third, remainder mutilated in type ; rostrum 

 extending to the base of the second abdominal segment ; scutellum 

 considerably more than half the length of abdomen, somewhat 

 suddenly narrowed about one-third from apex, which is broadly 

 rounded; abdomen profoundly sulcately furrowed on the three 

 basal segments. 



This genus is allied to Asyla (vol. i, p. 123), from which it 

 differs by the non-rounded apex of the head, the longer and 

 differently shaped scutellum, &c.
