In some individuals (proliabh' $ ) these are mucli less developed than 

 in others. 



4. Hypophloens tdomoides, sjx n. 



flobust, rufo-testaceous ; shining. Eyes ratlier distant, separated above 

 by a space greater than twice the width of one of them ; antennae stout, not 

 extending beyond middle of thorax, joints 5-10 strongly transverse ; thorax 

 slightly wider than long, the sides, apex, and base all arcuate, the apex feebly 

 emarginate in the middle, anterior angles rounded, basal angles obtuse with a 

 slight lateral tooth ; disc moderately strongly, rather irregularly, punctate, 

 with a large feebly depressed or flattened median area towards the apex. 

 Elytra about twice as long as together wide, apparently confusedly punctured, 

 owing to the punctures of the intervals being very similar to those of the striae. 

 Anterior tibiae gradually thickened towards apex, external apical angle 

 scarcely produced. 



Length 4 mm.

Larger and more robust than //. f/rniilis Lewis (^infra), with the 

 thoi-ax more sparsely and irregularly punctured, and distinguished bv 

 the anterior median depressed area, somewhat suggesting the excavation 

 so situated in the S 6 <>f many species of Uloma. The eyes are also 

 much smaller and more widely separated above than in H. (jentiJis, the 

 space between them in the latter species being but little widei' than 

 the greatest width of one of them.

A series, including both sexes, from Tonkin {R. Vitalis de SaJvaza), 

 agrees well with the description of H. rohusliis Gebien, from Formosa. 

 The type and one other specimen of C. (jentilis Lewis, from Japan, both 5 , 

 belong to the same species. Mr. Andrewes has two specimens, both § ,from 

 S. India (Nilgiri Hills, H. L . Andreives, and Kanara, and S. Bombay, 

 T. B. D. Bell). 



H. gentilis is very closely allied to H. flaxipennis Mots., both 

 species having similar sexual characters in the J , viz. a median longi- 

 tudinal ridge on the clypeus, and a round area between the eyes much 

 more tinel}- punctate than the rest of the irons. U. (jentilis differs, 

 however, fi'om flaciprnnis, ajjart from its imifoi-mly rufous coloui-, in
