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



Described from one male specimen from Barkuda Island, Chilka 

 Lake, Madras Pres., July, 19 16 (F. H. Gravely). 



The species of the three subgenera that constitute this genus 

 are mostly obscurely coloured and difficult to recognize unless the 

 genitalia be examined. The genitalia of none of the Indian species 

 have been described. 



Niceta kanarae, sp. nov. 



Female. Length 5 mm. ; tegmen 8 mm. 



In lateral view head produced in front of eye slightlj* more 

 than the width of the eye, the width of the head greater than 

 the depth. Antennae cylindrical not reaching to apex of head, a 

 small curved knob at base. 



Pregenital plate wider than long, very short at sides, hind 

 margin gradually and angularly produced to middle ; the sides of 

 the production slightly sinuous and the apex slightly rounded. 



Stramineous ; fuscous over genae in front of eyes and over 

 pronotum behind eyes, and over mesonotum. Tegmina hyaline, 

 slightly opaque with waxy secretions fuscous over apical half of 

 clavus, over cubitus from the fork and over median apical cells, a 

 little mark in radial cell at cross- vein and in apical cells, veins 

 3'ellow. Wings hyaline, veins 3'ellow, slightly opaque with wax)' 

 secretion. 



Described from one female specimen from Castle Rock, North 

 Kanara District, Bombay Pres., October, 1916 (S. Kemp). 



Phra amplificata Distant. 

 Phra, Distant, Muir, Ent. Mo. Mag. 1918, p. 242. 



One female specimen from Castle Rock, North Kanara Dis- 

 trict, Bombay Pres., October, 1916 (5. Kemp). 



I have already remarked upon the type of this insect and the 

 difference in the figures of the head. The present specimen agrees 

 with the type-specimen and is apparently the same species. 



Mysidiides fuscinervis, sp. nov. 



(Fig- 4) 



Male. Length 2 mm. ; tegmen 5 mm. 



Light brown ; mesonotum darker. Tegmina hyaline, slightly 

 opaque with waxy secretion, with slight fuscous marking o vet- 

 base and clavus, two or three marks in costal cell, over Cu 1, base 

 of median sectors spreading out into the median cells, over apical 

 cells ; the veins darker where the membrane is fuscous. Wings 

 slightly fuscous with brown veins. 



Lateral margins of pygofer produced into a broad angle below 

 anal segment. Anal segment comparatively short, broad, lateral 

 margins slightly flattened, produced into a small thin process be- 

 fore apex ; anus about middle, broadest distad of anus, apex
