truncate distally, the lower surface being long, the dorsal shorter 

 and about equal in length to the truncation which meets the lower 

 surface in an acute angle forming the apex of the antenna. 

 The legs resemble those of D. fihcornis. 



Dictysus latifrons, n. sp. 

 (Plate xliv, fig. i6.) 



A single specimen was found under bark at Kobo, 400 ft., in 

 the Abor Country, 8-xii-ii. 



A somewhat more glossy insect than the two preceding, with 

 somewhat slender antennae, and ringed femora. Length io"3 mm. 



The head resembles that of D. filicornis except that it is much 

 broader and perhaps a little smoother. 



The pronotmn is somewhat broader in front than in that 

 species, and is obscurely grooved in the middle line. 



The scutellum is shorter than in the two preceding species, 

 and its sides are lightly convex. 



The elytra resemble those of D. nodicornis in shape but their 

 grooves are punctate and more lightly impressed. The areas 

 between the grooves are flattened. The central (5th) of these 

 areas on each elytron extends only about two-thirds of the way 

 from the base to the tip ; there is no crowding in the posterior 

 angle as in the two preceding species. 



The transverse keel of the prosternum in front of the anterior 

 coxae, and the median groove between them, are less pronounced 

 than in the preceding species. The keel sends back a median 

 process into the groove, and the sides of the latter are not angulate. 



Both prosternum and mesosternum are smooth and polished. 



The metasternum and abdominal sterna resemble those of the 

 two preceding species. 



The antennae resemble those of D. filicornis, but are uniformly 

 stouter, the penultimate joints being a little less, instead of a little 

 more, than twice as long as broad. 



The legs differ from those of the D. filicornis and D. nodicornis 

 in that the femora are more distinctly swollen distall}^, and are 

 banded with yellow below the apex. 



Strongylium stevcnsi, n. sp. 

 (Plate xliv, fig. 17.) 



Two specimens were found by Mr. Stevens at Dejoo, base of 

 hills, N. Lakhimpur, 29-vi-io. 



A glossy, hard-shelled, dark green insect, not unlike 5. sohri- 

 num in general appearance, but much larger. Length 18-19 mm. 



The head resembles that of S. sobrinum. The width between 

 the eyes is variable as in that species. 



The pronotmn also resembles that of S. sobrinum; but its 

 anterior marginal rim is scarcely at all enlarged in the middle.
