180 Mr. P, Cameron on new 



second and following segments of the abdomen blue ; the 

 second segment in the middle strongly longitudinally striated. 

 Wings fuscous, the stigma black. <^ . 



Length 16 mm. 



Hab. Khasia Hills. Coll. Rothney. 



Antennae stout, the scape white beneath. Face and clypeus 

 punctured, sparsely covered with short hair ; the labrum 

 projecting, rounded at the apex, and fringed with long 

 pale hair. Mcsonotum strongly punctured, the punctures 

 becoming smaller towards the apex ; the scutellum more 

 strongly punctured than it in the middle. Postscutellum 

 impunctate. Base of median segment smooth, with only a 

 few scattered punctures ; the areola is wider than long, and 

 is separated by its own length from the base of the segment ; 

 the posterior intermediate area is strongly transversely 

 striated ; the posterior median area is wide and is closely 

 transversely striated ; the other areae are closely rugosely punc- 

 tured. Propleurae obscurely striated behind, the mesopleurae 

 punctured, but not strongly ; the metapleurse more closely 

 punctured and with a distinct keel on the lower side. Fore 

 legs with the femora and tibite lined with black above, the 

 middle femora lined with black to near the apex and all 

 round at the base; the hinder femora black, except at apex; 

 the metatarsus black, except at the apex ; the base of the 

 second joint narrowly black ; the hind tibiae black, broadly 

 white at the base. The middle of the petiole is longitudinally 

 striated. Areolet narrowed at the top, the nervures meeting 

 there. 



This species is not quite a typical Ayhiojoppa ; the areolet 

 is more narrowed at the top; the colour is paler, it being 

 almost Avhite, and the blue abdomen also separates it from 

 the other species. 



Acanthojoppa^ indica, sp. n. 



Luteous, marked with yellow ; a black mark on the base 

 of the mesonotum, a line along the base from the middle of 

 the prouotum to the end of the tegulae and the depression at 

 the base of the scutellum yellow ; the wings beyond the 

 stigma fuscous, with a slight violaceous tint ; the stigma 

 dark testaceous. ^ . 



Length 13 mm.

Basal half of the antennae rufo-fulvous, the scape with a 

 yellowish tinge on the lower side. The face and clypeus
