Genus FABULINUS, nov. 



Type, F. inijsorensis, sp. n. 



Distribution. South India. 



Head anteriorly acuminate, about as long as breadth between 

 eyes • antennge very finely pilose, second joint a little longest ; 

 pronotum longer than half the breadth at base, not transversely 

 •constricted, the anterior area somewhat globosely nodulose, the 

 lateral angles subprominent ; scutellum cruciformly cannate ; 

 femora moderately incrassate ; tibiae finely spinulose. 



This genus may be placed near Thehanus (vol. n, p. 67), from 

 which it differs by the greater length and more truncate base of 

 the pronotum.
