This is a somewhat rare insect resembling the haruzemi in its 

 general features, but differs from it in the smallness of its head, the 

 lateral margins of the pronotum being distinctly toothed, and the second 

 and third ventral segments in the male being furnished with distinct, 

 lateral tubercules. Description as follows : — 



" Body above brownish ochraceous ; head with some lateral curved 

 fasciae to front, some oblique fasciae to vertex, area of ocelli and basal 

 margin blackish ; pronotum with two central blackish longitudinal lines, 

 the anterior margin, the edge of lateral margin, and a spot near each 

 lateral area blackish, posterior margin greenish or ochraceous ; mesono- 

 tum with the following blackish markings : — a narrow central longitudi- 

 nal fascia, on each side of which is a short curved fascia; these are 

 followed by a short triangular spot in front of the basal cruciform 

 elevation, and a fascia on each lateral margin uniting with the preceding 

 fascia at base. Abdomen with the segmental margins blackish. 



" Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, the venation brownish ; tegmina 

 with the costal membrane brownish, a blackish spot at base of upper 

 ulnar area, the transverse veins at the bases of second, third, fifth and 

 seventh apical areas infuscated, and a submarginal series of small fuscous 

 spots placed near the apices of the longitudinal veins to apical areas. 



" Opercula small, situated wide apart, their apices broadly convex. 



" Long. excl. tegm. g 27-32 mm. Exp. tegm. 72-79 mm." 



This is quite a widely distributed species known also in continental 

 India, Java, and other places. I have never seen it in this Empire and 

 only know of its existence here from figure and description. I am not 

 able therefore to describe its character.
