PsEUDOHELCiTA, gen. n. 



Antennae longer than face, cylindrical or very sli}<litly flattened; arista 

 about one-third frum apex ; in profile the face produced conical ly between the 

 eyes ; subcostal cell very narrow, radial cell narrow to cross-vein, four cubital 

 veins entering- the hind margin, four median sectors all simple. The female 

 genital styles normally developed. 



This genus holds the same position to Zoraida Kirk, as Relcita 

 StSl does to Pamendanga Dist. 



P. walkeri (Distant). 

 Zoraida walkeri Dist. 



Neodiosteombus, gen. n. 



Antennae slightly longer than face, cylindrical ; four cubital veins reaching 

 the hind margin, median sectors all simple. Prouotum long in the middle, the 

 hind margin straight, not eniarginate, carinae on thorax very faint. 



This genus approaches such forms as Zoraida walkeri Dist., but the 

 straight hind margin of the pronotum is very distinctive. 



N. basalis (Walker). 

 Thracia hasalis Walk. 



ZoEAiDA Kirkaldy\ 



I have sunk the genus Peggiopsis Muir to a subgenus, and erected 

 another subgenus, Neozoraida, for those forms having six cubital veins, 

 as this at present appears to be the most convenient and natuml way of 

 dealing with the species, especially as at present I am unable to exactly 

 locate the genus Peggia Kirk. ( = Nehrissa StSl). 



Z. dittanti, sp. n. 

 Zoraida sinuosa Dist., nee Boh. * 



Antennae one and one-half times the length of the face, narrow, flattened ; 

 four cubital veins reaching the hind margin ; wings slightly less than half the 

 length of the tegmina. 



Light brown, slightly darker over the pronotum and abdomen ; pronotum 

 with a few minute pustular marks ; abdominal tergites irrorated with fine light 

 spots. Tegmina fuscous over costal, subcostal, radial, and the basal lialf of 

 radial and claval cells, the infuscation being darker along the media ; veins 

 concolorous as the membrane or slightly yellowish, the median sectors some- 

 what fuscous, the gradate cross-veins fuscous, five small black spots on the veins 

 near apex ; wings fuscous, slightly darker over costal area, a small black spot 

 on costa.
