TENTHIMIA. 245 



pronotum couvex, deflected anteriorly, sometimes with a few 

 small testaceous spots at middle of basal margin, and in some 

 specimens with the extreme basal margin testaceous ; scutellum 

 moderately discally depressed before apical area which is some- 

 whac couvex and very obscurely transversely striate, the extreme 

 apex elougately acute, sometimes with a small testaceous spot 

 near middle of lateral margin ; apices of anterior and intermediate 

 femora aud tibiae usually testaceous ; face with the basal margin 

 broadly transversely striate, beneath which it is strongly trans- 

 versely impressed ; the eyes are usually greyish and when thus 

 their outer margins as seen beneath are very conspicuous. 



Length 4-5 millini.

2487. Penthimia juno, sp. n. 



Black ; apical margins of tegmina obscurely piceous-brown ; 

 vertex finely punctate with the apex of anterior margin prominent ; 

 pronotum finely tranversely wrinkled ; scutellum transversely 

 ^\•rinkled, obscurely punctate at base, transversely impressed at 

 middle, a central longitudinal carinate line visible on basal half ; 

 tegmina punctate, more coarsely punctate on elavus, finely 

 obscurely pilose ; posterior tibiae with the spinules piceous, A 

 somewhat elongate species ; the basal margin of the face strongly 

 transversely striate, beyond which it is transversely impressed and 

 concave ; the spinules to the postejior tibiae are long and robust; 

 the tegmina are obliquely narrowed to apex at about two-thirds 

 from base. 



Length 4 millim. 



Hab. Ceylon; Kandy (Green). 



2488. Penthimia erebus, sp. n. 



Black ; apical margins of tegmina whitish hyaline with brown 

 veins and brown suffusions ; vertex of head with transverse 

 ridges ; pronotum punctate, obscurely transversely striate ; 

 scutellum punctate with a deep angulate transverse impression 

 beyond middle, the apical area transversely striate, its anterior 

 lateral margins deflected ; tegmina with some very obscure and 

 small testaceous spots beyond middle. 



A smaller and more elongate species than P. juno, from which 

 it also differs by the transverse ridges to the vertex and by the 

 pale apical marginal area to the tegmina ; basal margin of the face 

 transversely striate ; tegmina convexly not obliquely narrowed to 

 apex ; apices of the tarsi ochraceous ; spinules to the posterior 

 tibiae long and robust. 



Length 3 millim.
