"Clay-brown, with dark markings. Vertex obtuse, about as 

 broad as the eye. Pronotum with raised tubercles on the disc, 

 parallel with the longitudinal marginal carinula) ; with the 

 deflexed lobes obtusely dentated in front, produced beliind into a 

 straight triangular lobe, neither pointed nor enr\ed forwards ; 

 humeral angle very finely crenulated, with a pale obtuse tubercle ; 

 the process ^vitll very acute longitudinal carinse extending to the 

 tip, with pale crenules far apart. Hind femora above very 

 slightly waved, with a nearly entire carina above ; hind tibiae 

 simple. ISubgenital lamina of the male roundly produced. 



"Length, body. . . . S 10-5 mm., 2 12-5 mm. 

 „ pronotum 15-5 mm., 17 mm. 



,, hind femur 7 mm., 9-4 mm."

Type in the Genoa Museum. 



In the shape of the lateral spine this species resembles 

 S. harpago, and in the shape of the front of the pronotum 

 S. contracta. Although the hind tibite are called "entire," the 

 figure shows four teeth on the outer margin. They are repre- 

 sented as gradually and widely laminate ; and the basal joint of 

 the tarsi also appears to be expanded and is in any case much 

 broader than the terminal joint, as is also the short middle joint. 

 The iirst joint is longer than the third. I have placed this 

 species provisionally in >SceUmena, to which it appears to have as 

 much affinity as with the genera in which it has been placed by 

 previous authors.

Type, Ahhasia snhserruta, sp. nov. 



Ramje. Travancore. 



Body depressed, but traversed by a central undulating carina ; 

 space between the eyes about as wide as the eyes, which are 

 large and prominent; head not produced. Antennse slender, 

 rather longer than the head, placed distinctly below the eyes. 

 Pronotum in front with two distinct lateral carina?, ceasing, and 

 then continued by three longitudinal callosities ; there is also an 

 irregular outer carina, continued towards the end of the pro- 

 notum, before reaching which it forms a small angle and dis- 

 appears. Wings shorter than the abdomen, which, again, is 

 shorter than the pronotum ; the latter with a truncated lobe on 

 each side, turned downwards and backwards. Front femora 

 flattened, with one tooth above and two beneath ; middle femoi'a
