subequal in width throughout, bent at an angle before middle, 

 apex bluntly pointed. Aedeagus complex, consisting of two parts, 

 a large basal portion and an apical portion at an angle to the 

 basal portion. A strong chitinous tube runs through the middle 

 of the basal portion, its apex in connection with the apical portion 

 of aedeagus and its base joined to the structure connecting with 

 the base of genital styles. The outer portion of the basal part 

 of aedeagus is membranous with two large sclerites and having 

 two large spines arising from near the apex. The apical portion 

 consists of a cup-shaped organ from the edge of which two long, 

 slender spines arise, there is a third curved spine from the outer 

 portion of the cup. 



Head, pronotum and legs light brown, mesonotum and abdo- 

 men dark brown. Tegmina hyaline, fuscous with two light bands 

 and a light mark, the first band from costa at apex of subcostal 

 vein to hind margin, the second from before stigma to hind margin 

 above clavus and the light mark over base of cubitus ; veins same 

 colour as membrane without tubercles or macrotrichia. 



Female. Length 3 - 6 mm. ; tegmen 43 mm. 



In colour similar to male. 



Pygofer small, longer than broad, depressed down the middle, 

 forming a wax-secreting area; ovipositor complete, moderate in 

 size, reaching to apex of pygofer. Anal segment short, apical 

 angles slightly produced. 



Described from five males and three females from Castle 

 Rock, North Kanara District (5. Kemp, October, 1916). 



Kinnara spectra Distant. 



One female specimen which agrees with the original descrip- 

 tion. Above Tura, Garo Hills, Assam, 3500 to 3900 feet elevation 

 (S. Kemp, August, 1917). This genus, like Borysthenes, has a 

 subantennal process. 



Kinnara maculata Distant. 



One male from Talewadi near Castle Rock and two females 

 from Castle Rock, North Kanara District (S. Kemp, October, 

 1916). These agree with Distant's description but the dark mark 

 at base of tegmina is slightly more extensive. 



Genus Commolenda, Distant. 



The genus is described as having two ocelli at the apex of the 

 frons. This, I think, must be an error as no homopteron has a 

 pair of ocelli in that position and if the normal lateral ocelli be 

 present then it possesses four ocelli. Apart from this character 

 I cannot separate it from Ptoleria Sta.1. In A ustraloma Kirk, the 

 vertex is distinctly wider than long and there is no longitudinal 

 median carina.
