a prominent pustule ; posterior margin obtusely angled on the 

 abdomen, with four hairs, in groups of two. Legs pale, little 

 developed. 



Abdomen truncate, widest at the second and third segments, 

 with first segment longest and last longest and protruding ; lateral 

 bands paler than head markings, turning inward and narrowing 

 along the suture, with a narrow, horizontal blotch at that point ; 

 transverse blotches present, though but faintly visible ; segments 

 three to seven with two long hairs on the posterior margin on 

 each side at the inner edge of the lateral bands ; also a row of 

 fine hairs across the central portion of each segment. Genitalia 

 narrow, reaching nearly to the first segment and well chitinized 

 with small appendages.

A single male specimen from Lophophorus impeyanus ^Zoolo- 

 gical Garden Calcutta) This is a well marked new species^ most 

 resembling G. bicuspidatus Piaget, but plainly different, having 

 longer processes on the first antennal segment, the metathorax 

 not two pointed behind, and the abdomen with heavy transverse 

 blotches In this species we find the highest development of the 

 Goniodes male antenna. Colour golden brown, pale or almost trans- 

 parent in some places, with dark reddish-brown markings, except 

 the transverse abdominal blotches which are more of a chocolate 

 brown. 



Description of male: ?Iead broader than long, squarish, with 

 rounded but not prominent front. Clypeus with a long submargi- 

 nal hair and five very short ones on each side. Marginal band 

 narrow, turning in a short distance before the antennae to form 

 the narrow, darker, antennal blotches ; the clypeus at this point 

 is slightly emarginate. The antennae (Plate xv, fig. 8a), set in 

 emarginations of only moderate depth are highly developed even 

 for this genus. The first segment is large^ almost as broad as long 

 with a double-pointed appendage occupying the greater part of 

 the posterior margin ; this appendage is highly chitinized, the 

 outer prong short and turned inward^ the inner one very long, reach- 

 ing well back on to the temples, narrowing near its extremity 

 though terminating bluntly. vSecond segment a little shorter than 

 the first and much narrower ; third joint and its appendage appears 

 as a single, curved, claw-like segment, with the greatly reduced 

 fourth and fifth segments projecting from the outer margin, appear- 

 ing as a two-jointed appendage; these last two segments are of
