antennae, a rounded callosity at each basal angle of scutellum, a email Bub-quadrate 

 spot on each segmental lateral margin both above and beneath, margins of stigmata, 

 acetabula and apex of anal appendage, luteous ; membrane bronzy, with the apical 

 margins pale, the apices broadly so ; body beneath pale castaneous, the disc of abdo- 

 men, longitudinally and faintly piceous ; rostrum and legs dark castaneous ; abdomen 

 above green, the apex castaneous. Antennse with the second and fourth joints sub- 

 equal in length, first and fifth also sub-equal, and longer than third ; posterior 

 portion of pronotum and base of scutellum transversely wrinkled, the pronotum and 

 scutellum with a distinct, central, carlnate, longitudinal line ; membrane with the 

 veins very prominent. Length, 20 mm. Ereadth of angles of pronotum, 11 mm.

Fam. PTRRHOCOEIDiE. 



Lohita grandis, Gray, var. sumatrana. 



This variety differs from typical specimens of Grray's species in having the 

 apices of the intermediate and posterior femora unicolorous and not distinctly red, 

 the discs of both anterior and posterior pronotal lobes black ; clavus, excepting base 

 and apex, black ; scutellum wholly black ; the discal spot on corium, and the coxal 

 spots on sternum, very much larger, and the general colour reddish-ochreous, and 

 not sanguineous. 



Hab. : Sumatra (Forbes). 



This appears to be a very distinct race, and at first I was inclined 

 to consider it as another species, from tbe relative lengths of the 

 antennae and rostrum. I, however, fortunately possess a long series 

 of both sexes of Grray's species from N. E. India, and, to my surprise, 

 find that the lengths of both the antennae and rostrum are of a very 

 variable nature. 



Fam. REDIJVIID^. 



Panthous cocalus, n. sp. 



Pale sanguineous, shining ; head, rostrum, antennae, apical angle of corium, apex 

 of abdomen, a spot at middle of intermediate femora, an annulated fascia near 

 middle, and apex of posterior femora, tibia;, excepting basal third, tarsi, some 

 irregular spots on connexivum (both above and beneath) and membrane, black ; disc 

 of posterior lobe of pronotum, about basal third of corium, and disc of abdomen, 

 fuscous ; basal joint of antennae with two pale ochreous annulations, apex of mem- 

 brane pale fuscous hyaline. The basal joint of antennae is about half as long again 

 as head, anterior lobe of pronotum sub-prominently tubei-culated, posterior lobe with 

 the lateral angles prominently and sub-acutely produced ; femora and tibia; dis- 

 tinctly pilose and nodulated ; membrane extending considerably beyond the abdomen. 

 Length, 29 mm. Breadth of angles of pronotum, 9 2 mm. 



Ilab. : Sumatra (Forbes). 



This species is allied to P. Dcedalus, Stal, and P. nigriceps, Eeut. 

 It agrees with the firot in size, but differs by the colour of the corium,
