Genns CEPHALOBOLUS, geu. nov. 



GrEXOTYPE, C. pari'ipes, Mori. 



Head strongly punctate, nearly cubical, and a little broader 

 Hum the thorax ; mandibles stout, with the lower much longer 

 than the iip])er tooth, and their base broader than the cheeks ; 

 clypeus distinctly discrete, apically very broadly rounded, not 

 reHexed, and distinctly margined ; eyes internal!}- parallel and 

 not emarginate, with the head between them and the widely 

 separated scrobes strongly inflated and obtusely prominent ; 

 vertex emarginate. Autenna3 tilit'orm, stout, and not extending 

 beyond the apex of the abdomen. Thorax nitidulous, deeply and 

 evenly punctate throiighout, with obsolete notauli ; mesosterxium 

 bordered and strongly sinuate apically ; metathorax not apically 

 produced, its basal area small and distinct, the petiolar laterally 

 indicated; spiracles elongate oval. Seutellum triangular, slightly 

 convex, and not carinate. Abdomen compressed from base to 

 third segment ; the two basal segments of equal length ; basal 

 segment parallel-sided to a little ))eyond its centre and thence 

 elongate fusiform tlirough the spiracles to the constricted apex, 

 glabrous, with very sparse punctation ; second closely aciculate 

 tliroughont ; third alutaceous, becoming subaciculate basally ; 

 ventral valvulse large and elongately exserted. Legs short and 

 slender ; all the tarsi unusually slender, hind claws nearly straight 

 and obsoletely pectinate basally ; antei'ior coxae sparsely punctate, 

 the hind ones coarsely and granulately punctate and strongly 

 deplauate beneath. Wings not small, A\ith the nervures very 

 stx'oug : areolet wanting ; submarginal nervure but little shorter 

 than the fenestrate second recurrent, and emitted slightly before 

 it ; the fenestrate internal cubital continuous \\'ith the tirst 

 recurrent ; basal nervure subcontinuous through the median ; 

 hind wings with all the apical nervures strongly pellucid ; the 

 recurrrent strongly postfurcal and thrice as long as the basal 

 abscissa of the radius ; nervellus subgeniculate centrally but not 

 intercepted. 



Mange. Kashmir. 



This genus is certainly closely allied to Charops in the w\antiug 

 ai'eolet, short antennae, and the structure of the postpetiole, but 

 the head and thorax are much stouter and the legs dispro- 

 portionately short and slender ; to Glatha it is allied in the 

 apically obsolete nervures of the hind wings ; but from all 

 OPHiOjSriis'iE with which I am acquainted the turaidous frontal 

 orbits, almost exactly resembling those of Bathycetes {Meniscus) 

 cKtenator, Pz., render it abundantly distinct, 



333. Cephaloholiis parvipes, sp. n. 



cJ . A black and nitidulous species, witli the legs pale and the 

 abdomen centrally red. Head very lai-ge and black, with the 

 mandibles internally entirely and externally in the centre, apices
