SPOLTA ZEYLANICA. 
There are some individuals of this species which appear to 
connect it with gracilis , the measurements indicating this as 
well as the intermediate varieties of structures. Yet attenuatus 
is so distinct that it may be readily separated. It is moreover 
suggested here that attenuatus is a recently derived species 
originating from the gracilis type.

The above series of seventeen long-wing specimens from 
Kesbewa (Colombo), April 4, 1903, were found in association 
with Euparattetix personatus, Bol., in rice fields and dry bed of 
tank. Livipg examples were very variable in colour ; sometimes 
with broad longitudinal stripe of emerald green. In the dried 
specimens the latter colour has entirely disappeared. 
Gen. Goptotettix , Bol. 
Body rugose or to certain degree granulate. Head not at all 
exserted. Vertex narrowed towards the front, flattened, frontal 
earinulse between interrupted or leading abruptly backward. 
Frontal costa rounded, more or less produced. Antennse inserted 
between the eyes, filiform elongate. Pronotum in front truncate, 
extended to apex of posterior femora or long very acutely 
subulate; median carina depressed ; dorsum very rarely tectiform. 
Elytra oblong; wings abbreviated or caudate. Anterior femora 
often elongate, carinse parallel; posterior femora elongate, carinse 
entire or to certain extent orenulate ; first article of posterior 
tarsi longer than the third. 
Goptotettix , Bolivar (1887, p. 287).
