excluding apical area, thickly punctate, inner margin of tegmina 

 beyond clavus castaneous. 



Length inch tegra. 11 ; exp. pronot. angl. 5^ millim. 



Hah. Assam ; Dibrughur {Brit. Mus.). 



A small species to be recognized by the only moderately 

 dilated lateral pronotal areas and by the colour of the claval 

 area to the tegmina.

b. Head aho%d as long as space between eyes. 



Tituria cuneata, sp. n, 



Virescent ; vertex Avith the basal half of central carination 



and the eyes black ; lateral margins 

 of pronotum narrowly black ; face 

 centrally pale sanguineous ; vertex 

 about as loug as pronotum, very 

 thickly and finely punctate, strongly 

 centrally longitudinally cariuate, 

 lateral margins gi-aduall}' narrowed 

 from eyes to apex ; pronotum more 

 coarsely punctate than vertex, the 

 lateral margins broadly angularly 

 produced on each side ; scutellura 

 transversely striate ; tegminathickly 

 punctate, much less so on apical 

 area. 

 Length inch tegm. 15 ; exp. pronot. angl. 6 millim. 

 Hab. Burma ; Ruby Mines (Doherty). 



By the long and nari'ow vertex and pronotum this species is mosc 

 nearly allied to the Bornean T. obliqua, Walk. ; it is by the some- 

 what intermediate character of this Bornean species that I have 

 refrained from proposing a new genus for T. cuneata.
