segment with two teeth, Supraanal plate triangular, Cerci shorter than 
supraanal plate, laterally compressed, triangular, Subgenital plate small, com- 
prevsed laterally, with the apex conical, somewhat recurved, Kore and middle 
femora short, distinctly inerarsate. Hind femora somewhat incrassate, but 
only feebly dilated, extending well beyond the apex of the abdomen, Hind

The type is unique ; it has been captured (13-9-1913) by that enthusiastic 
explorer of Kashmir, Capt. RB. W. G. Hingston, in the Astor District, 9,000 feet, 
and I am greatly pleased to have the opportunity of naming such an interest- 
ing insect after him,
