Genus Amulius. 



Amulius viscus, sp. n. 



Head and antennie black, tlie latter with the base of third joint 

 (rather broadly) and base of fourth joint (narrowly) ochraceous ; prono- 

 tum pale sanguineous, the anterior angles, some central suffusions to 

 anterior lobe and the posterior lobe — excluding lateral areas — black ; 

 scutellum and corium black, apex of the former and a spot on apical area 

 of the latter, ochraceous ; membrane shining bluish-black; connexivum 

 black with large pale sanguineous spots , a central longitudinal fascia 

 to head beneath, ochraceous; sternum pale sanguineous, disks of 

 meso- and metasterna and lateral areas of the latter, black ; four 

 spots near anterior margin of mesosternum ochraceous ; abdomen 

 beneath dull ochraceous, connexivum as above and a series of large 

 sublateral spots black ;-legs ochraceous or pale sanguineous; a broad 

 central annulation and apex to anterior tibicC, apical areas of inter- 

 mediate and posterior femora, the intermediate and posterior tibise 

 and all the tarsi, black ; rostrum black, about or almost reaching 

 base of head ; antennae with the first joint less than half the length 

 of head, second nearly as long as pronotum, third longer than fourth ; 

 anterior angles of pronotum long, spinously produced, the spines 

 forwardly produced, curved, and slightly longer than first joint of 

 antennge, basal pronotal margin posteriorly laminately produced and 

 strongly centrally emarginate ; apex of scutellum somewhat tuber- 

 culous. Long. 19 millim. 



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



Allied to the Malayan A. quadripunctatus, Stiil, but the anterior 

 spinous pronotal angles black, much more slender, acute, and 

 curved, &c. 



" In life — has the anterior tarsi covered with a viscid secre- 

 tion resembling Canada balsam. In living examples the red 

 areas are quite brilliant " (E. E. Green iu litt.). 



Fam. NOTONECTIDiE. 

 Anisops ali, sp. n. 

 Ochraceous, the liemelytra more or less shaded with fuliginous ; 

 eyes black ; interocular space narrow, margins parallel, not or very 

 slightly narrowing at base, above with a distinct central longitudinal 

 impression, the margins of which are ridged, beneath narrow, parallel, 

 of the same breadth throughout ; pronotum with a distinct waved 

 carinate line on the anterior area, commencing on the lateral margins 

 behind eyes and then roundly directed upward and united between 

 the inner posterior angles of the eyes ; abdomen beneath fuscous. 

 This species is allied in general coloration to A. sardea, Herr.-Schaff., 

 and A. fieberi, Kirk. From both of these, however, it is distinctly 

 separated by the narrow parallel interocular space, and by tlio dis- 

 tinct carinate waved line to the pronotum. Long. 5 to 6^ millim. 



Hab. Ceylon; Diyatalawa (E. E. Green).
