Psyche 
[September-December 
Male genitalia: median lobe of sternum IX narrow and of mod- 
erate length; ventral vesicle reaching beyond middle of sternum. 
Paraproct: median lamella short and pointed, heavily sclerotized; 
subanal plate wide, triangular, with broadly rounded angles; distal 
process forming a long curved trough-like appendage; external ap- 
pendage finger-like, heavily sclerotized externally and bearing a 
subapical lateral tooth; the external appendage extends just beyond 
the subanal plate. Cerci long and membranous. Terga IX and X 
bearing small fields of spinules. Epiproct long and slender, its tip 
expanded laterally and bearing ventrally a short double row of 
heavy teeth. 
Female genitalia: subgenital plate well sclerotized, prolonged pos- 
teriorly into a trapezoidal lobe which is broadly and regularly 
emarginate. Vaginal structures as in Figure 8. 
Holotype: cf, Godavari, 5000 ft, 20-23.VII.1967 (CNC type no. 
1 3431); allotype: $, same data; paratypes: cf, $, same locality, 
20.VII.-4.VIII. 1967. 
Diagnosis: as the preceding species, P. godavariensis belongs to 
the P. indica group. The trough-like process of the subanal lobe 
of the male as well as the vaginal structures of the female are good 
diagnostic characters. The species is very close to P . assami Aubert 
and may eventually prove to be the same.

Length o'f body, 11-12 mm, to tips of wings, 18-19 mm. 
General coloration brown ; head and disk of pronotum dark brown. 
Wings clear, veins of the front wings marginated with brown. Legs 
banded : femora with a median and distal dark band, tibiae narrowly 
darkened at base and darkened again distally, tarsi dark. Abdomen 
mostly membranous except the genital segments; in the male a pair 
of small ventral sclerites and a pair of larger dorsal sclerites are 
borne at the base of each abdominal segment. 
Male genitalia: sternum IX long with a short rounded median 
lobe; ventral vesicle large reaching three quarters of the length of 
the sternum. Paraproct: median lamella narrow; subanal plate 
partly membranous, irregularly triangular, prolonged distally into 
a heavily sclerotized process which is slightly recurved dorsally; this 
process is pointed apically and bears a sharp subterminal spine; ex-
