broadens out, apex sharply pointed turned inward and upward, from 

 inner surface near base arises a quadrate process about twice as long 

 as broad. 



9 Anal segment cylindrical, as long as broad, apex of abdomen 

 (genital area) cylindrically produced. 



Length 2.5mm. ; tegmen 6mm. 



Hab. Bendoredjo, Java, on palms; Pasoeroean, Java, on 

 sngar-cane (Muir) ; Bnitenzorg, Java, on palm (Leefmans). 



In collecting I passed over this species for nwesfa and it was 

 only by chance that I secured a series. 



(2) dolosa sp. n. 



^ This species differs from pseiidonwesta by its darker thorax and 

 by the markings on tegmina and wings being still more reduced, in 

 radial cell it only forms three bands, one near base, one over cross- 

 vein and one at apex; on hind margin the markings form a series of 

 fine dot at apices of veins; wings hyaline, veins dark, fuscous mark 

 on apex. 



9 Anal segment cylindrical, much shorter than broad, apex of 

 abdomen (genital area) flattened, sunk between two small lateral 

 plates. In the shape of genital area this is nearer to iitocKla than to 

 psexidomoesta. 



Length 2.5mm. ; tegmen 6mm. 



Hab. Bendoredjo, Java, on palms; Pasoeroean, Java, on 

 sngar-cane (Muir, March). 



P. fenestrata (Bier.) is intermediate Ix'twcen those two 

 species. 



Paraproutista Muir. 



At the time of erecting this genus I had doubts as to the 

 value of its chief characteristic, the furcation of the third 

 median sector. Experience has shown its constancy ; of its 

 ijtility there can be no doubt for the facies of the species of this 

 and some allied genera are so similar that any good distinction 

 is an advantage. Whether it should be considered as generic 

 or subgeneric is a matter of personal opinion. In alhicosta, 

 pseudoalbicosta and hrimnia the keels of face do not meet till 

 below eyes or thereabout and are not so closely contiguous. 



(1) alhicosta sp. n. 



$ Dark stramineous or light brown, clypeus and abdomen red 

 slightly fuscous, veins red, some eight or nine small white spots in
