332 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



hind lobe of pronotum yellowish-fuscous. Collar very short, ferruginous. 

 Two ferruginous spots on the middle of the scutellum. Tegmina 

 brownish-yellow ; clavus and basal half of corium largely fuscoferruginous, 

 with blackish-brown punctures ; apical half of corium dark fuscous-brown, 

 a large pale yellow spot subapically. Membrane dark fuliginous, marked 

 slightly v/ith yellow. P'ore femora, apex of middle femora, apical third of 

 hind femora, apices of tibiae, fuscopiceous, rest yellowish. Labium 

 reaching the middle coxas, first segment not nearly reaching the base of the 

 head, but about the hind margin of the eyes. Clavus rather irregularly 

 punctured in four rows. Fore coxae strongly spined. Length, 73^ mill. 



Hab. — Ceylon, Pundaluoya (July). 



This was sent to me about ten years ago by Mr. E. E. Green. It 



seems to be rare, as it is not described in the " Fauna of India." My 



example has unfortunately lost its abdomen, but it is otherwise perfect, and 



the species is distinct. 



Edulica, Distant. 



Distant places Edulica in the Clerardini. Apart from the general 



habits, which places it in his " Rhyparochromaria " perhaps, the labial 



structure at once removes it from the Clerardini ; in Edulica the first 



segment alone is equal in length to the head, while the principal character 



of the Clerardini is that the first two segments together are about this 



length. 



Macropes, Motsch. 



I. M. sinhalanus, sp. nov. — Black (shining on head and pronotum), 

 with sparse, very pale yellowish hairs ; apex of tylus and the first and 

 second antennal segments pale ochraceous, third and fourth dark fuscous. 

 Clavus piceous, very narrowly margined with testaceous ; rest of tegmina 

 opaque milky-white, inner margin (very narrowly) of corium, and a broad 

 suffused band across the middle (somewhat obliquely covering junction of 

 corium and membrane) dark fuscous. Labium and legs more or less piceous, 

 first two segments of tarsi brownish-testaceous, hind tibise dark piceous, 

 antennae 4, 10, 11, 20. Labium reaching to about the fore cox?e. 

 Pronotum anteriorly and posteriorly punctured ; a double, rather feeble 

 line of punctures down the middle ; roundly curved outwards laterally, 

 sides of hind area parallel, posteriorly emarginate. Tegmma reaching to 

 apical margin of third segment. Fore femora comparatively strongly 

 spined. Length, 5^ mill. 



Hab. — Ceylon, Peradeniya. Mr. E. E. Green sent me this some ten 

 years ago, and it has remained undescribed up till now.
