Majella albomaculata, sp. nov. 



The genus Majella Kirkaldy differs from Gordia Melichar 

 in having the vertex much longer than wide with its apex very 

 much narrower than its base. Phenelia Kirkaldy differs from 

 both the above by not having the "break" in the tegmina 

 causing the apical portion beyond the apex of cortal cell and clavus 

 to drop down over the end of the abdomen, there being a distor- 

 tion of the veins along that line, especially of the cubitus. 



Female. Length 2 - 8 mm. ; tegmen yy mm. 



Vertex and face light brown, a dark mark on each side of the 

 median carina of vertex, three dark marks across gena in front of 

 eyes ; clypeus dark brown. Pronotum light brown with a series 

 of five or six dark spots behind eyes ; mesonotum dark brown with 

 lighter carinae. Coxae dark brown, femora and tibiae light brown 

 with two darker marks on hind tibiae; abdomen dark brown. 

 Tegmina brown, darker over base, a dark mark at apex of costal 

 cell with a small scarlet spot in the middle, veins darker brown 

 with a number of small, white dots along them, some small light 

 dots in costal cell. Wings light brown, veins darker. Anal 

 segment oval, wider than long, anal style narrow, long. 



Male. Length 29 mm. ; tegmen 3*4 mm. Colour similar to 

 female. 



Pygofer short, broad, flattened horizontally ; ventral margin 

 produced in the middle into two right angle triangles which meet 

 together on the middle line and appear as one angular projection. 

 Anal segment broader than long, nearly semicircular with a small 

 emargination at apex. Genital styles triangular with the apex 

 forming the base, a small projection on the outer margin near 

 apex. The aedeagus complex, of the normal Achilid type. 



Described from one female and one male from above Tura, 

 Garo Hills, Assam, elevation 3500 to 3900 feet (S. Kemp, August, 

 1917). 



Rhotala gravelyi, sp. nov. 



(Fig- 3-) 



This species agrees with Walker's generic description as far as 

 it goes, only a comparison with the type will settle the question. 



In dorsal view vertex 

 a little broader than 

 long, apex broadly 

 rounded, base roundly 

 emarginate, a small de- 

 pression in each side, 

 without carinae ; the 

 vertex stands up above 

 the pronotum ; frons 

 longer than broad, apex 

 broader than base, 

 broadest in front of
