Bucktons mutilated type is here figured and I add his originaldescription :— Suprahumerals stout and thorn-like, recurved anddivergent. .Scutellum exposed and conspicuous (this is only con-sequent on the mutilated posterior pronotal process). Posteriorhorn very short, not so long as the scutellum and like it cleft at.

Tegmina pointed, muchpaler brown in colour, with darker fuscous waved markings, whichare partly followed by the curved dark neuration. The fine apical POGON. 43 areas are bouuded by these curved nervures and those forming tlietwo discoidal celhiles. The posterior horn is less than halt thelength of the abdomen (this last character represents amutilation). The lateral pronotal processes as seen from above are bicarinate,with their apices obliquely truncate. Exjianse 12 ; size 0x4 millim. Eab. Ceylou {Green, Brit. Mus.); Pattipola {Green, Coll.
