100 APPENDIX. — TINGIDID^. 



flatly rounded terminal margin extending nearly to abdominal apex 

 and leaving only a part of the seventh abdominal tergite uncovered, 

 the costa which is protuberantly thickened in basal third and the 

 marginal protuberances of the sides of the pronotum dirty piceous 

 brown, two irregular small spots near terminal margin of hem- 

 elytra ochreous yellow ; pronotum not quite twice as long as broad 

 in the middle, lateral margin in middle shallowly but distinctly 

 notched, before which it is rounded, the row of punctures bordering 

 the cicatrisant area conspicuously coarser than the puncturation 

 of the ' process,' the area lyij^g in front of the cicatrisant swelling 

 with only a few slight punctures ; the third velvet-black glandular 

 spot on ventral surface, counting from the front, considerably 

 larger than the second ; tarsi ochreous yellow ; upper margin of 

 genital plate in cJ with two small, approximate, rectangular 

 lappets separated by a small approximately rectangular incision."

Lengtii 4| millim. 



Hah. Ceylon ; Nalanda {fide Breddin). 



I have not seen this species. 



Genus DYSDERCUS. (Vol. II, p. 118.) 



Dysdercus cingulatus. (Vol. II, p. 118.) 



Dysdercus micropygus, Bredd. Ann. Soc. Ent. Behj. 1909, p. 299. 

 Dysdercus luteolus, Bredd. torn. cit. p. 300. 



Of this well known species Breddin has recently {supra) from 

 different specimens submitted the descriptions, as of new species, 

 of no fewer than three different forms, two {supra) fz'om Ceylon, 

 and one from Borneo. The differences have been sought in the 

 structural chai-acters of the genital plates, but in my opinion, 

 unsuccessfully. 



Family TINGIDID.E. (Vol. II, p. 122.) 



Since enumerating the species of this family as found in British 

 India considerable fresh material has reached our hands and it is 

 now possible to supplement the descriptive list as then given by 

 about another two-thirds. Even then our knowledge of the 

 Tingididje comprised in this fauna is manifestly incomplete and we 

 may expect considerable additions to be made to it. 



Genus CANTACADER. (Vol. II, p. 123.) 



Cantacadee quinquecostatus. (Vol. II, p. ]23). 



I was previously only able to record this species from Ceylon ; 

 I have recently received it from Calcutta (taken at light), from 

 Chandan Chowki, U. Provinces of India, and from Bhogaon, Purneah 

 Disti'ict, N. Bengal.
