Six specimens, varying greatly in size, apparently found with 

 S. cingalensis. The pallid examples are simply immature. The head 

 in the larger of the two males is comparatively small ; the four females 

 have shorter and less filiform antennae. The narrow, laterally com- 

 pressed, sub-campanulate, uneven prothorax, and the relatively broad, 

 parallel elytra, readily separate the present species from its allies. The 

 mandibles are acute at the tip, but are toothed at some distance before 

 the apex beneath. 



2[K—Srm})tia fnscipennis, n. sp. 



Elongate, sub-parallel, robust, flattened above, shining, closely pubescent ; 

 rufo-testaceous, darker beneath, the eyes black, the elytra piceous; closely, 

 finely, the elytra a little more coarsely, punctate. Head transverse, rather 

 small, the eyes very large, coarsely facetted, somewhat narrowly separated, the 

 frontal suture sharply defined ; apical joint of maxillary palpi long, sub-cultri- 

 form ; antennae long, slender, filiform, joint 2 short, 3 elongate, distinctly longer 

 than 4, 4-11 sub-equal. Prothorax strongly transverse, convex, semi-circular, 

 the hind angles rectangular ; the base bisinuate, completely margined, trifoveate, 

 the outer foveae deep, indefinite. Elytra long, wider than the prothorax, 

 parallel to beyond the middle, conjointly rounded at the apex. Legs long, 

 slender ; tibiae with a few minute setae mixed with the hairs along their outer 

 edge; penultimate tarsal joint feebly lobcd, the basal joint of the posterior pair 

 very elongate. Length 51, breadth If mm. ( c?.^) 



Hah.: Ceylon, Dikoya, alt. 3,800-4,200 ft. {G. Lewis: xii.'Sl). 



One specimen, in perfect condition, presumed to be a male. A 

 large, elongate, robust form, with a comparatively small red head, 

 large eyes, long, slender antennae, with the third joint longer than the 

 fourth, a short, convex, rufescent, trifoveate prothorax, and long, 

 parallel, infuscate elytra. 



30. — Scraptia fulva, n. sp. 



Elongate, rather broad, robust, flattened above, shining, rufo-testaceous 

 (the eyes excepted), thickly fulvo-pubescent ; closely, rather coarsely, the elytra 

 more sparsely, punctate. Head convex, transverse, narrowly extended on each 

 side behind the eyes, the latter very large, somewhat narrowly separated, the 

 frontal suture distinct ; apical joint of maxillary palpi stout, securiform, tliat 

 of the labial palpi broadly seciu-iform ; antennae moderately long, stout, joint 

 2 short, 3-11 elongate, cylindrical, equal in length. Prothorax bi'oad, strongly 

 transverse, semi-circular (as seen from above) ; the basal foveae sharply defined, 

 deep, the disc also longitudinally depressed in the middle posteriorly, the hind- 

 angles rectangular. Elytra long, a little wider than the prothorax, siib-parallel 

 in their basal half, the sides rounded thence to the apex. Legs comparatively
