 (1888). 



At the time of the description of this species and until now, 

 I only knew P. badia by the female form from Tenasserim. 

 The British Museum has recently received a male example 

 from Burma, which I now describe : — 



Opercula short, broad, and overlapping inwardly, not 

 passing the base of abdomen, obtusely rounded laterally and 

 apically; rostrum reaching base of abdomen ; body beneath 

 somewhat longly pilose. 



Long., excl. tegm., <J 16 mm.; exp. tegm. 52 mm.

INTHAXARA, gen. no v. 



$ . Head (including eyes) about as wide as base of meso- 

 notum, ocelli a little farther apart from eyes than from each 

 other, front depressed, a little shorter than vertex ; pronotum 

 considerably shorter than mesonotum, the lateral margins 

 moderately ampliated and more or less distinctly toothed and 

 angulated ; mesonotum (including basal cruciform elevation) 

 as long as head and pronotum together; abdomen con- 

 siderably longer than space between apex of head and base 

 of cruciform elevation ; tympana covered, tympanal flaps 

 about as broad as long ; opercula short, very widely separated, 

 not passing the first abdominal segment, which is centrally, 

 longitudinally sulcate, second, third, and fourth abdominal 

 segments furnished with a strongly developed tubercle near 

 each lateral margin; rostrum reaching the posterior coxae ; 

 tegmina and wings hyaline, the first with the basal cell 

 longer than broad, apical areas eight, the lowermost continued 

 along the inner margin ; wings with six apical areas. 



1 place this genus before Lejytopsaltria, from which it is 

 distinctly separated by the second, third, and fourth abdo- 

 minal segments being tuberculated, &c. 



Inthaxara re.v, sp. n. 



$ . Body above more or less finely palely pilose ; head, 

 pronotum, and mesonotum brownish ochraceous ; lateral
