Family CAPSIDAE. 



Owing to the war it has not been possible to consult descrip- 

 tions of various new species. It is, therefore, not advisable to 

 describe specimens which do not agree with any of the described 

 forms in the Fauna volumes of Rhynchota. The remainder of 

 this paper will therefore consist only of those species which have 

 already been recorded by Distant. 



Onomaus pompeus, Dist. 



Two specimens from above Tura. 

 Recorded from Assam and Burma.
