186 CEYLON CETONlinA.E. 



The male is rather narrower , with the elytral sculpture 

 much obliterated on the disc ; the pygidiuin still more 

 densely strigose along the middle , the mesosternal process 

 somewhat bent downwards , the sculpture of the whole 

 under surface shallower. 



Length 25 — 28 mm., breadth at the shoulders iP/g — 

 13 mm. 



Allied to pulla Billb. from the Himalayas , but differing 

 greatly in its broader form — chiefly in the female sex — 

 and in its very strong and regular punctuation of the 

 elytra ; moreover the forceps is very unlike that of any other 

 Thaumastopeus-^'^QCies I have examined. 



Three females and one male taken at Belihul-Oya and 

 near Colombo. 



HÊavronofa quadrivittuta Schaum. 



I captured a single cT specimen, together with a female 

 of the next following species , on flowers in the Botanical 

 Garden at Peradenia. 



MacfOMota sculpticollis Thoms. 



This species may be considered with great probability 

 to be only the female sex of M. quadrivittata. Nine spe- 

 cimens examined proved to be all females , whilst sixteen 

 specimens of M. quadrivittata invariably belonged to the 

 male sex.
