*tTHEACiA (?) OBsoLETA, sp. 11. (Plate Y. fig. 7.) 



Exp. al. 28 millim. 



Body brown above; vertex and antennae tawny yellow ; hinder 

 raised ridge of pronotum, a narrow central carina on scutellum, 

 and terminal segment of abdomen white. Under surface white. 

 Tegmina moderately broad, hyaline, the nervures pale testa- 

 ceous, often shading into white, especially beneath, those towards 

 the costa and inner margin darkest. The hinder angle is rounded 

 off, but is sufficiently distinct to separate the lower part of the 

 hind margin, running from the truncated apex, from the inner 

 margin. A dusky spot covers the base of the tegmina, and there 

 is a blackish spot on the inner margin at f of its length, at the 

 extremity of the first anastomosing nervure. Beyond this, at 

 the next fork, 3 or 4 dusky spots can just be discerned running 

 up towards the middle of the wing, and then three more, directed 

 outwards. Wings hyaline, with white nervures, extending as 

 far as the hinder angle of the tegmina. 



Hardly congeneric with the other species, having broader 

 tegmina and much larger wings. The specimens were ticketed 

 " Phenice " by the late Mr. Atkinson ; but on tlie whole seem 

 to agree better with Thracia in their characters. 

 Pundaloya.

Long. Corp. 8 lin. ; exp. al. 14 millim. 



Yellow, with green lines, more or less distinct and sometimes 

 obsolete, between the eyes, and on the sutures of the head, 

 thorax, pleura, and abdomen. Abdomen with a double row of 

 black spots on each side above. Tegmina brown, with a broad 

 vitreous band on the costa, and another, commencing on the 

 basal third of the inner margin, and then filling up the whole 

 of the middle of the tegmina, to the hind margin, where it is 

 marked with two browu spots ; in the central vitreous band there 

 are four or five short brown dashes on the transverse norvules. 

 The vitreous part of the costa is marked on the outer half with 

 small brown marginal dots, and the brown outer part of the
