go I. AHMAD 



Body short and slim, pale unicolourous. Head elongate (Text-fig. 296) ; occipital suture 

 complete ; paraclypeae elongated and cylindrical with pointed apices. Antennae pale, tinged 

 with black, underside of basal segments and bases of each segment pale. Rostrum short, 

 reaching apices of second coxae. Lateral black line faint on sides of antenniferous tubercles, 

 extending on to collar like a black dot. Pronotal disc punctate, pale, sometimes tinged with 

 green ; brownish black spots on posterior angles present. Legs uniformly pale, with articula- 

 tions between femora, tibiae and tarsi black. Hemielytra pale unicolourous. Posterior margin 

 of seventh abdominal tergum with a very small rounded projection ; pygophore round (Text- 

 fig. 298). 



$ genitalia : Claspers with long blades and with curved and pointed apices (Text-fig. 

 206) ; both dorsal and ventral pairs of thecal appendages present, with symmetrical sac-like, 

 broad ventral appendages (Text-fig. 220) ; four lateral conjunctival appendages as in Text-fig. 

 300 ; frontal conjunctival appendage without any sclerotized piece (Text-fig. 220, A) ; three 

 right lateral conjunctival appendages, with second short, straight and thick only in middle 

 (Text-fig. 220, F) ; membranous appendage with a spiculed, cap-shaped terminal and a short, 

 curved and acutely pointed dorsal appendage. 



$. Very similar to 3* in general appearance and measurements ; posterior margin of seventh 

 abdominal sternum sinuately emarginate (Text-fig. 299). 



$ genitalia : First gonocoxae short, broad, rounded at apices (Text-fig. 299) ; six pairs 

 of intervalvular sacs (Text-fig. 302) ; spermatheca short, pointed at apex, with a median flange 

 and a short coiled tube (Text-fig. 234). 



Type material. Holotype <$, without data, labelled " Leptocorisa lepida Bredd. ", 

 " Type! ", Coll. Breddin, Dtsch. Entom. Inst., Berlin. 



Other material. India : 2 <$, 2 $ ; Bhutan : 45 <$, 35 $ ; Burma : 1 <$ ; 

 Thailand : 2 <$, 2 $. 



This species is common in India (U.P.) and its range extends in the east as far as 

 Thailand. The adults have been collected in April, September and December. 



This species is very close to L. pseudolepida sp. n. and L. luzonica sp. n. and shares 

 with them the character of small size of the body (less than 12 mm. in length). It 

 can be separated from them by the long and cylindrical paraclypeae, which are 

 pointed at their apices and by other genital characters (see above). 



Leptocorisa luzonensis sp. n. 



(Text-figs. 205, 219, 233, 247, 261 and 303-307) 



Characterized by apical antennal segments, which are equal to or longer than 

 second and third segments together and by the form of J and $ genitalia.

 brownish black, with basal three-quarters of first segments, apices of second and third and bases 

 of apical segments, pale. Rostrum short, reaching apices of second coxae. Lateral black
