Gtnewica AFFiiins, n. sp. 



Above brown, thickly and coarsely punctured. Head thickly punctured with 

 black, with a central longitudinal fulvous line, broadest at base. Central lobe almost 

 reaching apex of head, the lateral lobes very slightly passing it in front. Antennae 

 fuscous ; basal joint not reaching apex of head, second joint slightly shorter than 

 the third, fourth longest, fifth and third sub-equal. Pronotum with the posterior 

 half thickly punctured with black, the anterior portion fulvous ; lateral angles pro- 

 duced into strong acute black spines, slightly directed forwards. Scutellum fulvous, 

 sparingly covered with black punctures, except at the base, where there is a large 

 central black closely punctured spot. Corium agreeing in colour with the posterior 

 portion of pronotum, very thickly punctured with black; membrane fuscous. Body 

 beneath luteous, thickly and finely punctured, slightly tinged with green ; legs fulvous. 

 Kostrum greenish, with the tip black. 



Long. 10 mill. Exp. pronot. ang., 6 mill. 



Hab. : Bombay ; Calcutta. 



Allied to G. marginella, Dall., from wliicb it differs, by tbe shorter 

 head, and central lobe not passing the lateral lobes ; the pronotal an- 

 gular spines are smaller and not directed upwards as in that species, the 

 colour of the scutellum is also different. 



Dallas had no locality for the type, which, though from Mr. 

 Children's collection, appears to be South African. A specimen from 

 that locality, collected by Mr. M. Weale, agreeing exactly with the 

 type, is in my own collection. The above appears to be the Indian 

 form of the genus. 



Stenocephalus oeientalis, n. sp. 



? . Pale fuscous, very thickly and coarsely punctured ; lateral margins of the 

 pronotum, corium, and membrane impunctate and luteous. Antennte strongly pilose ; 

 first joint robust, about as long as the head, dull fuscous, second joint about as long 

 as the fourth, third and first sub-equal ; the second joint is pale luteous, obscure 

 fuscous at base, and more broadly so at middle and apex, third joint obscure fuscous- 

 luteous at base, fourth pale fuscous-luteous at base. Head and anterior portion of 

 pronotum somewhat darker than other portions of the upper surface, and less strongly 

 punctate. Legs luteous ; fore and intermediate femora hghtly fuscous at apex, hind 

 femora broadly and distinctly so ; apex and base of tibiae and tarsi fuscous. 



Long. 12 mill. 



Hab. : Bombay ; Madras. 



Allied to S. aqilis. Scop., but apart from other characters may be 

 at once distinguished by the marginal luteous border. It appears to be 

 the Indian representative of the genus. 



Note. — I have, since writing the above, seen the ^ of this species, 

 which appears to differ from the ? by its smaller size, the second
