Eurybracliydince. —Anterior legs compressed, dilated; face broad, 
angled at each side. The broad flat face ending in an angled prominence 
at each side marks these insects. Euryhrachys is common, E. tomentosa, 
F., especially, which has broad olive-green tegmina mottled with yellow, 
a green head or pronotum and mesonotum, and purple-red metanotum, 
sternum and legs; the female has a mass of white mealy wax on the ab¬ 
domen and is found on bhinda ( Hibiscus esculentus) and other Malvaceous 
plants. Large numbers of eggs are deposited in this wax on the plant, 
hatching to small active bugs which suck the plant. The insect is a 
very striking one; E. apicalis , Wlk., in which the wings are fuscous (in 
E. tomentosa , they are white), is also found and apparently has similar 
habits. 
Dictyopharince. —No apical ocellus. Sides of clypeus carinate or 
acute. Chiefly characterised by the absence of characters used for other 
sub-families. Dichoptera includes one common plains form, D. liyali- 
nata , F., which suggests a Cicada. It is one of the largest forms in the 
plains with an expanse of two inches and the tegmina hyaline with a sin¬ 
gle transverse fascia. It is found feeding upon the wild fig trees, the pipal, 
banyan, gular, etc. Dictyophara is a large and widespread genus, with at 
least three common species likely to be found. The head is usually pro¬ 
duced forwards and upwards, the tegmina are long and narrow, the hind 
tibia with four to six spines ; our species are small and delicate, with a 
body length of about J to J inch. D. sauropsis, Wlk., has a short head, 
and is green in colour ; D. walkeri, Atk., is smaller, pale ochraceous in dry 
specimens but green in fresh ones ; D. lineata , Don., has two longitudinal 
fuscous fasciae in the tegmina. All are common in grass and can be found 
readily. The last is perhaps the most common but this probably varies 
with the locality. Udugama splendens, Germ., is a little larger, ochreous 
(green) in colour, the tegmina with a fuscous stigma and apex ; the head 
is only slightly produced. 
Cixiince. —Three ocelli, one on the apex of the frons ; claval vein not 
reaching the apex of the tegmen. Oliarus is represented by several 
species, small dark insects with rather long hyaline wings, the mesonotum 
with five distinct ridges. So far as known, these small insects live in 
grass and at the roots of plants. Buxia, in which the face is long, 
narrow, with strongly carinate lateral margins, has one species recorded 
from Bombay, which is likely to be found elsewhere.
