of the cubital veins, and a very small spot iu the middle of the basal cubital 

 cell, veins reddish brown, the apical veins bright red; vriogs fuscous with 

 dark veins. 



Ventral edge of pygofer straight, entire, lateral edges angularly produced 

 in the middle; anal segment long, narrow, in dorsal vein subparallel-sided, 

 anus at apex, basad of anus dorsal surface sloping from the middle, distad of 

 anus slightly narrowed, apex truncate ; genital styles narrow, slightly longer 

 than anal segment, ventral edge entire, slightly sinuous, dorsal edge widely 

 and shallowly emarginate in middle with the margin turned inward, a minute 

 curved spine on the apical margin of the emargination. 



Length 2*4 mm. ; tegmen 4*8 mm. 



2 . Similar to male. Anal segment minute ; pregenital plate large, hind 

 margin widely angularly produced from sides to middle, apex of production 

 rounded, sides slightly sinuous ; medio-basal portion constricted off from, and 

 turned ventral at an angle to, the remainder of the plate. 



Length 2*6 mm. ; tegmen 4*8 mm.

The five genem Kajnendaha Dist., JSosaccJiarissa Kirk., Tapoosa 

 Dist., Chaprina Dist,, and JS^icerfoides Matsumura, are very closely 

 related, and depend, as far as I can see, upon the shape of the head for 

 their separation. As there is a specific difference in the shape of the 

 head, the genera grade into one another. At one extremity we have 

 the vertex and face in profile forming an angle of about 90°, and the 

 face strongly curved, especially so on the apical portion (^osaccharissa) ; 

 at the other extremity we have the face and vertex in profile forming an 

 angle of about 45°, and the face not so strongly curved (^Nicertoides) ; 

 Kamendalca, Chajprina, and Tapoosa approach Eosaccharissa. The 

 slight differences in the shape of the vertex are equally unreliable for 

 generic separation. I therefore consider it best to regard them all as 

 one genus, which will have to take the name Kamendaka Disl^ ; the 

 extreme forms on one side can be regarded as a subgenus, EosaccJiarissay 

 and the extreme forms on the other side as another subgenus, Nicer- 

 toides^ while the intermediate fonns would form a third, Kamendalca. 

 Both Chaprina and Tapoosa will then sink under JEosaccJiarissa. 



One specimen standing under the name Brixia nivea Walk, is a 



Kamendaha.

Originally, this genus was placed by me in the Nicerta group, as 

 the median sectors are confined to the apical third of the tegmina ; but
