106 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Hah. Bengal ; Kurseong. 



Allied to M. punctatus, Walk., but differing by the pronotum 

 being less deeply concave at posterior margin ; the second and 

 third joints of antennae distinctly clavate at apices ; different 

 colour of the legs, >kc. 



I am again indebted to Dr. Montandon for specimens of this 

 species. 



Fam. HENICOCEPHALID^. 



Henicocephaliis limhatiyennis, sp. n. 



Head, anterior lobe of pronotum, scutellum, body beneath, and 

 legs ochraceovis ; antennae, and middle and posterior lobes of pro- 

 notum, castaneous ; abdomen beneath with transverse fuscous mark- 

 ings ; bemelytra pitchy-brown, a basal angulate spot ochraceous, the 

 lateral and apical margins broadly sordidly stramineous ; antennae 

 distinctly pilose, second joint distinctly longer than the third ; 

 anterior lobe of bead considerably longer tlian posterior lobe, elon- 

 gate, margins subparallel, posterior lobe globose, the ocelli near its 

 anterior margins ; posterior lobe of pronotum distinctly wider than 

 middle lobe, its lateral margins roundly oblique, middle lobe centrally 

 longitudinally sulcate. Long. 8 milhm. 



Hah. Ceylon; Peradeniya (F. H. Gravely, Ind. Mus.). 



Mr. Gravely found this species " running about on the ground 

 in the jungle." 



Allied to H. viajusculiis, Dist., but a smaller species, diffe- 

 rently coloured, the pale lateral margin to the hemelytra broader 

 and regularly continued to the apex, basal joint of antennae 

 shorter and more incrassate, middle lobe of pronotum with the 

 lateral margins rounded, not obliquely narrowed anteriorly, &c. 



Fam. REDUVIID^. 



Acantliaspis chilawensis, sp. n. 



Black ; antenniferous tubercles, spines at base of pronotum, basal 

 angles and a large spot behind middle of corium, and lateral marginal 

 spots to abdomen above and beneath, ochraceous ; legs pitchy- 

 brown ; first joint of antennae about as long as head ; anterior lobe of 

 pronotum sculptured, the anterior angles subprominent, posterior 

 lobe closely rugose, lateral spines somewhat long, a little directed 

 backward, their apices black, the two central basal spines much 

 shorter, posteriorly directed ; scutellum wnth a long spine obliquely 

 directed backward ; legs finely setose ; rostrum reaching the anterior 

 coxae, first and second joints subequal in length. Long. 16 to 

 20 millim. 



Hah. Ceylon ; Ghilaw (E. E. Green). 



Closely allied to A. quinqucspinosa, Fabr., but basal central 

 spines to pronotum smaller, their basal areas black, not ochra- 

 ceous, spot to corium larger, less transverse, and more ob- 

 long, &c.
