ginella. Bates , which also belongs to this group , may be distin- 

 guished from the present species by its black head, the more 

 clearly limited fuscous vitta at each side of the elytra, and by 

 the structure of the last dorsal segment of the female which 

 ends in two sharp teeth between which is a deep but rather 

 narrow emargination. In the })resent species this plate is rounded 

 at the apex.

 eiylris medio leviter angustioribus, antennis (articulis 1°, 2°que

Signor Fea has taken two examples, which though closely 

 allied to , appear to be distinct from the preceding species. They 

 have on the whole a somewhat narrower form : the front of 

 the head in the male is decidedly narrower than in modica, and 

 in this sex also the last ventral segment is very feebly or 

 scarcely at all impressed. (In a North Indian example which I 

 take to be the male of 0. modica this segment has a distinct , 

 though not strongly marked, longitudinal impression).

 infuscatisj apicibus oblique truncatis fere rotundatis; capite pro- 

 thoraceque dense punctatis, hoc lateribus fere parallelis; elytris 

 crebr-e punctatis, punclis postice evanescentibus; antennis articulis

Bhamò in Upper Burma. One female example. Male , without 

 indication of locality, in Brit, Mus. collection. 



Fulvous. Sides and hinder part of elytra turning to dark 

 brown. Antennae longer than the body in both sexes with the 

 first three joints black-brown , the remainder more or less testa- 

 ceous; the third joint barely longer than the fourth. Hind legs 

 not much longer than the middle or anterior pairs; their femora 

 reaching almost to the hind border of the third abdominal seg- 

 ment. Last ventral in the female rather long, and marked 

 with a distinct longitudinal line ; the same segment in the
