HEMIPTERA HOMOPTERA. OF CEYLON. ;155 



bordered with yellow. Kervures green, subcostal nervure 

 running parallel to the costa for some distance, and then curving 

 round parallel to the hiad margin, but leaving a broader space 

 between the line and the hind margin than between the line and 

 the costa ; but before reaching the inner margin it curves 

 suddenly inwards, and ceases just above the point where the 

 orange line ceases on the inner margin. The last nervure from 

 the base near the inner margin is more distinctly green than the 

 others, and its neighbourhood is granulated with green. "Wings 

 pearly white, nervures slightly greenish. On the under surface 

 of the tegmina is a transverse curve, hardly visible above, branch- 

 ing from the costal nervure before the upper curve, and then 

 running downwards and obliquely inwards towards the same 

 point on the inner margin. 



Allied to P. truncata, Linn., but the costal area is much 

 broader, besides other differences.
