era! color orange yellow to yellowish green, dorsum of thorax 
sometimes with paler streaks or often white stripes in male; 
antennal segments 4 to 8 black at tip, 9 and 10 ail black; wings 
clear with several small dark spots along margins. Body sur- 
face often covered with white fiocculent material. 
Head small, little broader than prothorax, not deflexed, deeply 
cleft in front, vertex with edges and median line elevated into 
a narrow rim with two deep fossse extending from posterior 
margin slightly divergently toward antennal bases; in the male 
the lateral ridges and ridge on each side of median suture are 
often whitish ; anterior outer angle of vertex acute and forming 
a small hornlike epiphysis over eye; anterior ocellus at front 
margin of vertex, a little above apex of frontal cleft and visible 
from above. Gense not swollen into cones beneath, but project- 
ing forward at antennal bases forming frontal cleft. Frons 
very narrow, scarcely visible between genae. Antennae a little 
more than half as long as body, slender. Beak moderately long. 
Thorax not much arched, not broad. Legs rather short and 
slender; hind tibiae with a small spur at base and several black 
spines at apex; basal tarsus of hind legs with one black spine 
at apex. Forewings hyaline, long, about two and three-fourths 
times as long as broad, with pseudo vein connecting short radius 
and media; pterostigma wanting. 
Male abdomen slender ; genital segment small ; forceps very 
slender, arched, acutely pointed ; anal valve shorter than forceps, 
relatively very broad, expanded laterally. Female abdomen 
larger, broader; genital segment nearly as long as rest of ab- 
domen; dorsal valve bulging upward and hirsute midway and 
abruptly constricted in apical third to an acute point; ventral 
valve tapering to an acute point, nearly as long as dorsal. 
Moluccas, Amboina {Muir), January, 1908, 5 males and 6 
females. India, Mercara, Coorg (Y. R. Rao ) , May 24, 1917, 
3 females. 
This species is very close to Tyora hibisci Froggatt, differing 
in some color characters and in the genitalia of both sexes. Me- 
sohomotoma camphorse Kuwayama is very similar to this species 
and apparently is not generically distinct.

Nesiope Kirkaldy, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. W. 33 (1908) 389.

Nesiope and Tenaphalara differ sharply from the remainder 
of the subfamily in the shape of the head, which in these two 
genera is not at all cleft as it is in the others. Notwitstanding
