1922.] F. Muir : New Indian Honwpicra. 347 



Anal segment cylindrical, long, about four times as long as 

 broad. 



Dark chocolate brown ; lateral carinae of face except the 

 apical third, clypeus except the basal sides, lateral portions of 

 pronotum and the legs, lighter brown. Tegmen hyaline, the apical 

 two-thirds, from slightly before stigma and apex of clavus, dark 

 brown with four light areas, one on costa at stigma, one at apex 

 of clavus, a larger central one stretching from radius to clavus, 

 and one at apex of median veins ; a dark band across base ; 

 veins same colour as membrane, tubercles minute bearing fine 

 macrotrichia the same colour as veins. Wings hyaline, fuscous, 

 barker over apical half of costal area. 



Described from one female from Pashok, Darjiling District, 

 India, 2000 feet elevation (F. H. Gravely, May, 1916). 



There is a third species in the collection which appears to be 

 undescribed, but as it has no abdomen and the sex is not known, 

 I refrain from naming it. 



Brixia albomaculata Dist. 



Eight males and six females from Castle Rock, Kanara 

 District, [ndia (5. Kemp, October, 1916). 



Brixia plagosa Dist. 



One male and one female from Tura, Garo Hills, Assam, 3500 

 to 3900 feet elevation. 



These specimens agree with the description except that they 

 have no median carina on face. If the description be correct 

 then this identification may not be correct and Distant' s species 

 may be a Leirioessa Kirk. 



Leirioessa pulchra, sp. nov. 



This genus differs from Brixia Stal, in the shortness of the 

 antennae ; the frons has a median carina and 5c, R and M separate 

 to the basal cell and do not form a stalk. 



Male. Length 3 mm.; tegmen 4/6 mm. 



Dark chocolate brown; antennae, carinae of face, lateral 

 portion of pronotum and the carinae of mesonotum light brown 

 or yellow, legs and genital styles light brown. Tegmina hyaline 

 with light infuscations and darker markings. A dark mark 

 at base over basal cell and half-way along suture and extending 

 to first claval vein ; a large subquadrate mark from costa to cubitus 

 commencing at apex of basal mark and ending at apex of clavus, 

 on the costa it includes two light marks, the basal one triangular 

 and the distal one smaller and round ; the apical cells of R and 

 M dark enclosing two lighter marks ; three small marks in a row, 

 one from hind margin to Cu 2a, the second from M 2 + 3 to K and 

 the third at apex of stigma; veins light with minute brown 

 tubercles bearing fine brown macrotrichia.
