SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 
Dorsum of abdomen furnished with transverse rows of well- 
developed pili, longer and more numerous on apical end. No 
distinct tail. 
Length of the body : 2*5-3 mm. 
Winged Female. 
Body black, not woolly ( teste Green, in Buckton); abdomen 
broad, somewhat domed (but damaged in the few specimens 
I could examine). 
Front furnished with two very short teeth, of equal distance 
from antennae and from each other. Eyes very large, presenting 
a well-marked appendix ; three large ocelli. 
Antennae (fig. 5) so long or slightly longer than head and thorax 
united, five-jointed ; the two basal joints broad and stout, the 
first slightly longer than the second ; third very long, distinctly 
longer than the breadth of the head ; fourth not longer than J of 
third ; fifth (with its appendix) distinctly shorter than fourth, the 
appendix nearly equal to bi of its length ; joints 3-5 furnished 
with numerous elevated rings, between which are others, very 
fine (3-4 between two elevated rings) ; of the first there are on 
third joint 45-50 rings, on the fourth 12-16, on the fifth 8-13 (the 
appendix without any) (fig. 5). 
Pronotum transverse, short, slightly broader than head (includ¬ 
ing eyes), somewhat paler coloured. Mesothoracic lobes shining. 
Legs of moderate size, remotely pubescent; second joint of the 
feet long, first much shorter. 
Anterior wings longer than the body, at rest carried flat on the 
body, broadest after the middle. Subcostal vein and margin 
nearly parallel; stigma dark, brownish dark punctured, with 
darker inner margin ; cubitus indistinct at base, forked before the 
two-thirds of its length, the outer branch longer than the inner 
one ; the length between apex of radial and outer branch of cubitus 
is nearly equal to one-third of the distance between the apices of 
the two cubital branches ; the two oblique veins are united at 
base. 
Posterior wings with the subcostal vein subparallel to the mar¬ 
gin (except near the usual tooth-like process); two oblique veins, 
rather distant at base, divergent. 
Long.: 2*50-2*60 mm.; wing : 3-3*10 mm. 
Ohs — One of my specimens presents the outer branch of the 
cubitus forked after middle of its length. 
Oregma lanigera , Zehntn., is a very distinct species, of smaller 
size (winged form — 1*60-2*15 mm.; wing = 2*50-2*80 mm.), less 
robust, otherwise coloured, covered with wool; the antennae are
