BORELLIA. 87 



The Paris Museum possesses another female, from Bhutan 

 (Maria Basti), which resembles the type of A. gaudens, except 

 that the head is black. Further material is urgently required to 

 solv'e the question. 



Genus BORELLIA, Burr. 

 Borellia, Burr, (09) p. 325. 



Type, Forficesila moesta, Serville. 



This genus differs from Anisolalns, Fieb. (q. v.) in the 

 presence on the mesonotum of small rudimentary elytra. These 

 are not generally contiguous at any point, aud are' usually soldered 

 to the mesonotum. 



Range. Cosmopolitan. 



Table of Sjiecies. 



1. Elytra uarrow at the base, exposing' the 

 mesonotum like a scutellum, dilated 

 towards the apex aud contiguous at the 

 end of the suture, covering- the base of 



the metauotum (/rceni, Burr, p. 87, 



1.1. Elytra narrow, only covering the sides 

 of the mesonotum. 



2. Femora ringed with black stdli, Dohrn, p. 88. 



2.2. Femora not ringed aimandalei, Burr, p. 89. 



43. Borellia greeni, Burr. * 



Anisolabis greeni, Burr, (99) p. 257, (01) p. 319; Kirbfj, (04) 

 p. 19. 



Of medium size ; the whole body exceedingly minutely punctu- 

 lated and with a few long hairs ; black, the legs brick-red, the rest 

 black, except the four apical segments which are pale. Pronotum 

 rectangular, with a median impression. Elytra narrow at base, 

 exposing a broad, short, transverse area of the mesonotum ; then 

 suddenly and strongly dilated, so that the inner margins meet along 

 the suture and cover the apical half of the mesonotum. Legs brick- 

 red, the knees somewhat darker or all black. Abdomen deep 

 reddish black ; last dorsal segment somewhat narrowed in both 

 sexes, with a faint median impression, with two faint tubercles 

 on posterior margin in the c? • Penultimate ventral segment tri- 

 angular, the apex rounded. Forceps alike in both sexes, subcon- 

 tiguous, stout, trigonal at base, rapidly tapering, straight, curved 

 at the apex, more so in the c? than m the $ ; inner margin with 

 a very faint tooth in the middle.
