Allied to the Bornean Lithosia rotundipennis, Walk. Journ. Linn. 

 Soc. Zool. vi. p. 104, which species is also probably identical with 

 L. chilomorpha, Snellen Van Voll., Tijd. voor Ent. 1877, p. 67, pi. 5. 

 fig. 1, from Sumatra. Both of these species will come into the 

 genus Nishada. 



1 Probably a sound-producing apparatus.
