This species differs from the allied L. malayana Dist. as represented 

 by the Malayan type specimen, by shorter second antennal joint, longer 

 hemelytra and hind femora, the lack of the cross-vein between the apical 

 vein of the membrane and the costal margin, differently coloured legs, 

 and quite differently spotted membrane. Distant has published two figures 

 of L. malayana, both drawn by Mr. H. Knight. In the first figure (of 

 the type) the vein running from the cell of the membrane to its apex 

 is united with the costal margin by a conspicuous cross-vein, in the other 

 figure (of a Ceylonese specimen) this cross-vein is wanting, quite as in 

 L. culicina. His later description is only a copy of the original one. If 

 the figure of the Ceylonese specimen is correct, there can be little doubt 

 that it does not belong to L. malayana, not is it likely that the species 

 recorded by Distant from the Seychelles Islands as malayana is cor- 

 rectly named. 



One specimen of each sex of L. culicina was taken together with 

 several larvae and a nymph. The apex of the male abdomen being muti- 

 lated, I can say nothing about the genital segment. In the larvse and 

 nymphs the eyes are smaller than in the imagines, and the transverse 

 impression between the eyes is moved more forward, lying between the
