Seven specimens. One female from Maskeliya taken in August, 
1902, u caught at light. ” Of the remaining six specimens from 
Pundalu-oya, four were “ swept from grass fields ” in March and 
April. 
A male and female of this series taken in January at Pundalu- 
oya were contributed to my collection by Malcolm Burr. For the 
other five specimens I am indebted to E. Ernest Green. 
Gen. Paratettix , Bolivar. 
Body granose, little rugose. Vertex horizontal, narrower than 
the eyes or equally wide, middle carinate, on either side more or 
less concave or lengthwise canaliculate, anterior carinulse termin¬ 
ating in flexures, viewed in profile not at all produced between the 
eyes. Frontal costa between the antennae curved, declined toward 
the base, rarely subsinuate. Antennae filiform, little longer than 
the head, composed of fourteen articles inserted barely before the 
eyes ; palpi not dilated, same colour as the body. Pronotum with 
the dorsum rather flattened, front border truncate, posteriorly 
subulate, very frequently the apex passing the hind femora, but 
sometimes abbreviated ; median carina a little elevated ; humeral 
angles obtuse ; lateral lobes posteriorly bisinuate, the inferior sinus 
straight or acute, posterior angle of lateral lobe turned downward, 
apex subrounded. Elytra oval punctate; wings perfectly explicate, 
very rarely abbreviated. Anterior femora compressed, above 
carinated, very frequently undulate ; posterior tibiae with the 
apical third part ampliate, as well as spinose ; first articles of 
posterior tarsi elongate, longer than the third, pulvilli acuminate, 
below straight, the third pulvillus very frequently longer than 
the first and second united.
