Ceylon: Kandy (July. 1897); Haragam (Aug. 1897); collns. 

 Green and Kirkaldy. 



Frons with strong lateral carinse, the central carina apically obso- 

 lete ; apical margin of tegmiua slightly, but noticeably, convex ; costal 

 margin slightly sinuate. Brownish- or reddish-testaceous ; tegmina 

 dark-brownish, basal half of costal membrane black a long-isosceles 

 white spot on costal membrane about the middle ; apical margin wide- 

 ly infijscate, two narrow transverse cloudy lines nearer the middle of 

 the tegraeu. Hind wings of the general ground colour of the tegmina. 

 Allied to the variable P. ohscura (Fabr.), but differs by the sinuous 

 costal margin, the apically obsolete central carina and the strong lateral 

 carinse of the frons ; the brownish- or reddish-testaceous abdomen, 

 and the noticeable white spot on the costal membrane. 



RiCANiA MELiCHARi, n. u., for R. subjusca, Mel., 1898, Verb. Zool- 

 bot. Ges. Wien., p. ( nee Stal, 1865, 0. V. A. F., p. 162). 

 Flata ocbllata (Fabr.) 

 PI. A, fig. 5. 

 As this well distributed species is the type of tbe genus and has not 

 been accessibly figured, a coloured representation is now given. The 

 size and number of the tegminal spots varies somewhat. 

 Flata cornutipennis, n. u. 

 = t Phylliphanta acutipennis, Kirby, 1891.

 Plironima (7) marginella and deltotensis, Kirby, 1. c, p. 155. 

 P. deltotensis a,ppears not to differ structurally from the greenish 

 marginella. 



Hansenu, gen. nov. 



Ccrynice, Stal, affinis ; antennis pedunculi segmentis primo ultra ge- 

 narum margini laterali multo extend enti, secundo primo circa \ plo 

 lono-iore. Tegminibus maxime decumbentibus, serie una regulari ner- 

 vularum instructa ; membrana costali dilatata, basi angustata. Abdo- 

 mine compresso. Typo Pceciloptera glauca, Kirby. 

 (7) Walker & Kirby spell this Phronima, which is, however, a crustaceous genus.
