. Rhynchota ... i-nations abbreviated ; face strongly transversely striate. Length 8^ miliim. Hab. Utakamand {Brit. J/tw.). Genus SOUNAMA, uov. Type, S. imiyrhnis, Dist. Distribution. Nilgiri Hills. Aertex of head somewhat angularly convex and reflected, with aslight central longitudinal ridge; ocelli placed close together onposterior disk, remote from eyes; face broadly longitudinally sili-cate, lateral areas finely transversely ridged ; posterior tibia? withone strong spine; pronotum sexangular, broad, convex, not cen-trally longitudinally ridged, nearly twice as broad as long ; tegminaattenuated posteriorly, apical area with two cells divided byprominent veins. This genus is somewhat intermediate between Aphropliom andFtielus: in the first both the vertex and pronotum is centrallylongitudinally carinate, while in the latter neither are ; in Sounamathe vertex only is ridged. From both those genera it is also sepa-rated by the longitudinally sulcate face. 106 2265. Sounania imprimis, Y\. 80.—Bounaiaa iiuprinm. Ochraceous, stroDgly pilose ; diskof vertex piceous ; basal margin ofscutellum black; tegmiua with alongitudinal basal streak, a trans-verse oblique fascia beyond middle,and some subapical and apicalfasciae enclosing cellular areas,black ; legs pale ochraceous ; lateralmargins of head between face andeyes black ; prosternum black ;abdomen beneath black, the seg-mental margins and a central lineochraceous ; anal segment ochra-ceous.

Head about as long as medial length of pronotum, subtriangu-larly produced, its lateral margins oblique, lateral apices of thelobes acute, at apex inwardly laterally and transversely impressedas though for the reception of the upper area of face ; ocelli placedclose together near base ; face elongate, its lateral areas oblique ;rostrum short, not extending beyond intermediate coxae : pronotuman
