(Surface of head striate or subreticuhite ; cheeks each with 

 one seta near middle, and a shorter knobbed one on a small 

 wart just behind eye. Eyes moderately iinely facetted; 

 stout knobbed bristle protecting each posterior ocellus. 

 Basal antennal joint stout, brown; 2 smaller, light yellow —

 shaded with greyish-brown in parts. Relative lengths o£ 

 joints ap|)roximately 5 : -4 : 37 : 21 : 18 : 11 : 7 : 7. 



FroMotum strongly transverse, about 0"-4 times as long as 

 broad ; set£B on warts, knobbed, a stout pair at anterior

 so stout and mid-lateral pair smaller. 



Pterothorax transverse, broadest near juncture wilh the 

 abdomen. Legs much as in Hystricothrips. Wings slender, 

 nearly reaching to the seventh abdominal segment. 



Abdomen broadest near base and thence narrowing lo base 

 of tube, segment 8 oidy 0"35 as bioad as 2. Tube very long 

 and slender, sparsely and finely setose. Terminal hairs

Leeuwenia indicus^ sp. n. 



Very near Leeuwenia gladiatrix, Karny, a little smaller 

 and broader, with a more slender tube, which is about 1*2 

 times the length of the abdominal segments 1-9 together. 



Uniform dark chestnut-brown, surface roughly reticulated. 

 Antennal joint 2 lighter distally and 3-8 yellow, extreme

 than 4 ; G shorter than 5 ; 7 and 8 broadly united, pointed 

 apically and together about as long as 5. 



Abdomen broader than in <7/ac?ja<?v>, with the dorsal and 

 wing-retaining s|)ines very poorly developed. Tube not so 

 curved as in (jladiatrix and only sparsely and somewhat
