SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 
and an apical fovea ; between these rings are obsolete annulations ; 
bristles rare. Rostrum extending to the middle coxae. Thoracic 
lobes dark brown, a pale median line. Legs infuscated, with 
some bristles. No cornicles ; tail obtusely rounded, furnished with 
some setae. 
Anterior wings (fig. 8) longer than the body ; stigma elongated, 
brownish; veins dark ; first and second oblique springing from 
same point of cubital vein, clouded at base, the first slightly 
curved, second nearly straight; cubitus not reaching the cubital 
vein (if it did, it would reach the common base of the oblique 
veins) ; radial rather long, very slightly curved. 
Inferior wings (fig. 8) with two oblique veins, springing from 
same point, the second vein long and curved ; the cubital vein 
therefore apparently trifid. 
Length of the body : 1*75-2*35 mm,; wing : 2*60-3 mm. 
Nymph . 
The wing-cases are dark. Vertex with two conspicuous teeth, 
obtuse and rather stout, divergent, nearly contiguous at base, 
separated by a small prominence; the common base somewhat 
elevated. Antennas six-jointed: first and second joints short, of 
equal length; third equal to (sixth) or slightly longer; fourth 
longer than half of third ; fifth equal to fourth ; seventh short, 
equal to half of second : 1% 1*, 2*5, 1*5, 1*5, (2*5), (0*5). 
Gall (fig. 9). 
I figure the specimen of gall* I received from Mr. Green ; it is a 
large one, measuring 44 mm. in diameter, springing from the leaf. 
The shrub is possibly a Pistacia .

* Other galls observed on the shrub were considerably larger than the one sent
