in the intensity and distribution of the coloration. Tlie mucli smaller 

 size and different colour, as well as the shape of the pronotum, at 

 once distinguish this from the preceding. 



36. 31. sp. ?. 



Three specimens from Captain Broun seem to belong to a third 

 species, allied to M. Scotfi, but smaller and differently marked. I re- 

 serve a description till I have seen more and better specimens. 



EEUDA, n. g. 



Body oblong oval, nearly glabrous, coarsely impressedly punctate. 

 Head longly triangular, clypeus produced for about half its length in 

 front of the side lobes. Eyes prominent, not very close to the apex 

 of the pronotum, and extending beyond it for nearly all their breadth. 

 Eostrum reaching to the metasternum, and the first joint to the base 

 of the head. Antennae inserted in front of the lower anterior angles 

 of the eyes, pilose, first joint not attaining apex of head, second 

 thickened upwards, third and foiu'th very slender, together about half 

 the length of the second. Pronotum broadly convex, elevated pos- 

 teriorly, posterior breadth more than double the length and about four 

 times the anterior breadth ; distinctly and rather broadly collared ; 

 sides rather obtusely margined, with a rounded expansion behind the 

 collar, then straight to the rounded hind angles ; hind margins nearly 

 straight, overlapping the base of the scutellum ; disc anteriorly with 

 a tubercle on each side behind the collar. Scutellum equilateral, with 

 a transverse depression behind the base, disc with a broad, shallow, 

 longitudinal channel, apex produced into a broad short spine. An- 

 terior margin of corium broadly expanded and slightly reflexed ; 

 cuneus with a well-marked suture. First joint of hind tarsus longer 

 than the second. 



Somewhat allied to Capsus, Eieb. 



37. B. Mayri, n. sp. 



Brownish-testaceous, with numerous iiTegular brown spots ; disc of the prono- 

 tum with an irregular ^'-shaped mark, and the anterior margin of the corium and 

 base and apex of the cuneus with rather larger spots ; antennae dark brown, base of 

 second joint, and base and spot on the inner side of the first, yellowish- white ; legs 

 yellowish with dark brown rings, tarsi dark brown ; membrane fuscous with paler 

 streaks ; venter dark brown with pale spots ; pronotum with a callous elevated 

 longitudinal central hne, irregularly expanded on the disc and interrupted before 

 the hind margin, pale yellow. $ . Length, 5 mm. 



Of this curious species I have seen one tolerably perfect example, 

 and fragments of two others, all taken by Captain Broun.
