Melichar {supra) has sunk Bierman's genus CatidJoides (Not. 

 Mus. Leiden, xxxiii, p. 21, 1911) as a synonym of the above. 

 This, however, cannot be maintained. Both Bierman's descrip- 

 tion and figure define the costal membrane of the tegmina as 

 possessing numerous transverse veins, wliereas my description 

 and figure of Barunoides clearly show the contrary, "costal 

 membrane without transverse veins." Moreover, there are otiier 

 differences, and Bierman's genus is distinct and must stand, 

 unless it should be subsequently proved to be a synonym of 

 Kusuma, Dist. It is found in Java and Sumatra and not as yet 

 recorded from British India. 



BaRUXOIDES ALBOSIGNATA.

Vertex subquadrate, the margins strongly ridged, its apex 

 somewhat moderately angularly rounded ; eyes longer than broad, 

 posteriorly projecting over the anterior angles of the pronotum ; 

 face longer than broad, lateral margins ridged, a little concave, 

 moderately widened and aiigulate before clypeus, centrally strongly 

 carinate, the carination bifurcate anteriorly ; clypeus strongly 

 centrally carinate, its lateral margins not carinate ; pronotum 

 strongly convex anteriorly, concave posteriorly, centrally strongly 

 carinate, its lateral angles posteriorly subacute, anterior margin 

 distinctly carinate ; mesonotum tricariuate ; posterior tibia? with 

 two spines, one befoi-e and the other behind middle ; tegmina 

 about two and a half times as long as broad, costal margin con- 

 vexly rounded, apex conically rounded, costal membrane broad, 

 not veined, three longitudinal cells from base to beyond middle, 

 beyond which the venation is close and longitudinal and a 

 series of transverse veins deliminates a close series of apical and 

 anteapical cells, claval vein extending to about middle of claval 

 area ; wings shorter but scarcely broader than tegmina, posterior 

 margin strongly sinuate, a series of disconnected transverse veins 

 before apical area. 



(Somewhat allied to Tamhlnia, from which it differs in the 

 shape of vertex and face, and in the position of the longitudinal 

 veins to tegmina, the first not being near costal margin as in 

 Tamhinia,
