1. Ormiscus pardus, sp.n. (Tab. XIII. fig. 22.) 
$. Black, upperside covered with numerous ochraceous dots, between which the black ground-colour forms a 
rather sharply defined network ; underside ochraceous-clay at sides, pale clay in the middle. Rostrum 
nearly three times as broad as long, broadly emarginate at apex, coarsely punctate-rugate. Head 
rugate-granulate ; frons less than half the width of the rostrum. Anterior lobe of eye only a little larger 
than posterior. Antenne rufous, club brunnescent, its segments closely applied to one another. 
Prothorax punctate-granulate, half as broad again as long, strongly convex, obliquely rounded at sides ; carina 
antebasal, not deeply concave, projecting laterad at side, not distinctly curved forward at this angle. 
Seutellum grey, a little broader than long. Elytra a little narrower than prothorax, short, flattened, 
gradually narrowed from shoulders to apical declivity, each gibbose on back near base, transversely 
depressed behind this gibbosity, also depressed along suture, punctate-striate, the punctures rather large, 
alternate interstices somewhat convex, third and seventh subcostate. Pygidium a little longer than 
broad, evenly rounded at apex, entirely ochraceous. Legs rufous, spotted with ochraceous, femora and 
claw-segments brownish ; mid tibia with short apical spur. 
Length 22 millim.

One male. 
9. Ormiscus tigrinus, sp. n. (Tab. XIII. fig. 23.) 
2. Black-brown, pubescent luteous-grey ; underside uniform in colour, upperside variegated with whitish-grey 
and brown. Antenne rufous at base. Prothorax half as broad again as long, with the sides somewhat 
rounded, three transverse brown bands on disc, separated into spots laterally, first band straight in 
middle, subapical, second median curved backwards in middle, third before carina thin, interrupted 
in middle and also curved backwards; carina subbasal, parallel to basal margin of elytra, hardly farther 
from basal edge at sides than in middle. Scutellum grey. Elytra narrower at base than prothorax 
short, flattened above, depressed at suture, especially posteriorly, basal callosity tuberculiform, marked 
with a blackish spot, brown spots more or less transverse, declivous apex subvertical, grey, this grey 
area bordered in front by a brown band-like space which is widened forward at suture. Pygidium 
luteous-grey. Legs rufous, middle of femora and apices of tibie and of tarsal segments brunnescent.
