336 Records of the Indian Museum. [Vol. XXIV, 



Tegmina stramineous, veins yellowish, all the apical cells slightly 

 fuscous. Wings slightly fuscous with brown veins. 



Female. Length 4*4 mm. ; tegmen 5-4 mm. The subantennal 

 process is larger than in the male. In colouration similar to male. 

 Pregenital plate longer than broad, hind margin evenly produced 

 from the side to middle, the apex of the production rounded, the 

 produced portion forming more than half the length of the plate. 



Described from one male and one female from above Tura, 

 Garo Hills, Assam, 3500 to 3900 ft., July, 1917 (S. Kemp) ; and 

 one female from Shillong, Khasi Hills, Assam, elevation 5500 to 

 6400 ft., August, 1915 (S. Kemp). 



I have not seen the type- species of Vekunta Dist., but the 

 figures of it show the subcostal cells short and there is no suban- 

 tennal process. The present species of Herpis differs from such 

 species as Herpis vulgaris in having the vertex much longer and the 

 lateral margins broad and granulate, as in Vekunta. Its division 

 into two subgenera may be convenient. 



Vekunta flavipes, sp. nov. 



Female. Length 36 mm. : tegmen 5*4 mm. 



Subantennal process forming a very small flange below the 

 antennae. Pregenital plate very short at sides, the middle half 

 produced into a large process, the sides at first gradually curved 

 then nearly straight with the apex rounded. Anal segment slightly 

 longer than broad anus near base, apex subtruncate. Genital 

 styles fairly large, projecting beyond process of pregenital plate. 



Very dark brown or black ; as antennae, face and clypeus 

 light brown, legs yellow, hind margin of abdominal sternites 

 yellow. Tegmina dark brown or nearly black, yellowish along 

 costal margin, a small yellow spot at stigma. 



Described from one female from Tura, Garo Hills, Assam, 

 3500 to 3900 feet elevation (S. Kemp, August, 1917). 



Otiocerini. 



Lyricen vagans, sp. nov. 



(Fig. 2.) 



Male. Length 3 mm. ; tegmen 5 mm. 



The vertex and face slightly wider than in the type-species 

 and the cubitus forks slightly lower down, otherwise quite typical. 



Light brown, darker over lateral portions of pronotum and 

 mesonotum, face, genae, clypeus and front coxae. Tegmina fus- 

 cous with darker markings in middle of clavus, fork of Cu, middle 

 of M and fork of Sc and R; veins darker at base of median 

 sectors and apical cross-veins. 



Lateral margins of pygofer widely angularly produced below 

 anal segment ; medio-ventral margin angularly produced with a 

 pair of curved spines just within the pygofer (these may pertain
