I believe that now, after a long correspoiidence with Ilerr Konow, 

 I can separate the species with tolerable certainty. But it must be 

 admitted that the imagines of latlpes and septentrlonalis are some- 

 times excessively hard to distinguish ; and but for the fact that their 

 larvae are totally dissimilar, it would be almost impossible to regard 

 them as specifically distinct.

A NEW GALL-INHABITINa BUO FROM BENGAL. 

 BY DR. G. HORVATH. 



Mr. T. T. Kieffer has been kind enough to send me for determi- 

 nation an Indian species of TincjitidcG, which I found to be un- 

 described. With my best thanks to Mr. Kieffer, I am glad to give 

 the description of this new species as follows : — 



StEPHANITIS GALLAEUM, 11. sp. 



Vesicula antica et membranis marginalibus pronoti elytrisque hyalinis albido- 

 reticulatis, pills brevibus erectis griseis parce vestitis; capite nigro, bucculis albidis, 

 fere ubique seque altis et antice ultra apicem tyli pauUo proraiiaulis ; antennis 

 flavo-testaceis, articulo quarto nigro, articulo tertio articulo hoc 2^ longiore : 

 pronoto disco dense subtilissimeque punctulato, fusco-castaneo, antice nigro, vesi- 

 cula antica oblongo-ovata, parum elevata, ante basin antennarum vix extensa, 

 carinis discoidalibus rectis, parallelis, carina raediana parum elevata, humili, cum 

 vesicula antica seque alta, uniseriatim areolata, carinis duabus lateralibus sat dis- 

 tinctisj sed baud areolatis et antrorsum usque ad lineam transversara fictam, ad 

 apicem posticum vesiculae anticse ductam extensis, membranis marginalibus late 

 explanatis, irregulariter triseriatim areolatis, apicem versus latioribus, extus leviter 

 arcuatis, antice oblique truncatis et paullo productis, angulo apicali externo rotun- 

 dato, processu postico basi nigricante, apice hyaliuo, areolato ; elytris abdomine 

 multo longioribus et latioribus, mox ante medium fascia transversa subinterrupta, 

 ante apicem litura obliqua, prope marginem suturalem vitta abbreviata et pone 

 apicem spatii discoidalis macula subtriangularia nigro-fuscis, plus minusve confluen- 

 tibus notatis, vesicula discoidali parum elevata, membrana costae lata, basi biseria- 

 tim dein triseriatim, ad sinum costalem quadriseriatim et ante apicem triseriatim 

 areolata ; corpore subtus nigro, limbo postico segmentorum pectoris brunneo, mar- 

 gine antico prosterni, carinis sternalibus pedibusque flavo-testaceis, tarsis apice 

 nigricantibus. <? . ? . Long. corp. 3, cum elytris 4^ mill. 



This species differs from the other Steplianitis by the less developed 

 prouotal hood and by the little elevated median carina of the pro- 

 notum, the two lateral carinse being long and much produced 

 forwards. It was found by Prof. A. Haas in the vicinity of Kurseong, 

 Bengal, and is there very common on the galls of Machilus gamhlei. 

 I profit by this occasion to make some synonymical remarks on
