posterior than these are from each other. The posterior separated from each other by 

 half the distance thev are from the eves. Clypeus convex, keeied in the middle, the 

 apex triangulär. Apex of mandibles piceous. Prothorax finely and closely punctured, 

 somewhat convex above, the sides concave, furrowed in the centre, the lower part of 

 the concavity projecting more than the upper, the edge of the latter being furrowed and 

 margined; prosternum furrowed, widely in front, narrowing behind. Mesothorax finely 

 punctured; parapsidal furrows wide, parallel; there is a large shining keeied depression 

 below the tubercles, the pleurae behind this being convex; mesopleurae widely furrow- 

 ed, keeied in the centre. 



»Median segnient with a straight central and two lateral curved con verging keels 

 in the centre; and, o the edge, are two other keels; the interstices transversely striolate; 

 the apex semiperpendicular, transversely striolate and keeied above. 



»Rhinopsis rußcornis Cam. is nearly related to R. Constanceae, but differs in 

 having the hinder ocelli separated from the eves bv more than twice the distance they 

 are from each other; in the mesonotum being without black at the base; in the scutel- 

 lum being ferruginous; in the pronotum being deeply furrowed in the middle, in the 

 apex of the median segment being tuberculate laterally before the curve; in the lateral 

 central keels being less distinct and more widely apart; in the narrow part of the petiole 

 being longer, the apex nodose; while in Constanceae it becomes gradually developed 

 from the middle; the legs are stouther and have the femora not so attenuate at the 

 apex; the wings are shorter and have the second recurrent nervure interstitial, while in 

 the present species it is received in the basal third of the cellule, the wings further being 

 deeply smoky before the middle.

 »Male. Length 4'/^ lines. Brassy-green, varying in tint in different lights; the 

 carina on the face entire, arched, and produced at the apex; the head deeply rugose- 

 punctate. The prothorax is transversely rugose-striated above, the sides being roughly 

 punctured; the mesothorax has a central carina which terminates before the apex; on 

 each side is an abbreviated oblique one and a second entire oblique carina which unite 

 at the apical margin of the truncation by a short transverse one; the lateral margins are 

 raised, and the apical angles terminate in a stout bent tooth; the wings hyaline and 

 iridescent, the nervures fusco-ferruginous. Abdomen shining, and having a few scattered 

 delicate punctures. 



»Hab,: China (Hong Kong). 

 In the Museum are two examples of this species; in both the first recurrent 

 nervure is obsolete.«
