Genus PSEUDOGRABHAMIA. Theobald. 

 Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc, p. 244 (1905). 



Head clothed with narrow-curved, upright forked and flat 

 lateral scales. Mesothorax with narrow-curved scales; scutellum 

 with small flat scales only on the lateral lobes, small flat ones 

 on the mid lobe, except along the posterior border where there 

 are narrow-curved scales ; metanotum nude. Wings with rather 

 broad cone-shaped scales especially on the basal half of the veins, 

 thin lateral ones on the apical halves and rather broader ones on 

 the stems of the fork-cells : fork -cells short. Male palpi with 

 the two apical segments rather swollen, also the apex of the 

 antepenultimate \ the apical segment bluntly acuminate, both 

 end segments with hair-tufts and also hairs on the apex of the 

 antepenultimate segment. 



This genus looks very much like Grabhamia, but can at once 

 be told by the scutellum having small flat scales, not all narrow- 

 curved ones as in that genus.
