60 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Armachanus nilgiriensis, sp. 0. 
Pale brownish ochraceous, a transverse linear white fascia cross- 
ing clavus near apex of scutellum, and an oblique similar fascia near 
middle of corium; before the latter the lateral area is also more or 
less greyish white ; cuneus with a prominent black basal spot ; mem- 
brane very pale fuliginous ; body beneath and legs unicolorous. Some- 
what closely allied to A. monoceros, Dist., but a more slender and 
attenuated species, the posterior pronotal area shorter, the anterior 
area longer, narrower, and moderately narrowed at base, thus bringing 
the two areas or lobes into more divisional character and into greater 
contrast ; the head is more elongate, and has a median longitudinal 
darker line; the scutellum, clavus, and central area of corium are not 
darker in hue as in A. monoceros, but concolorous with the general 
pale brownish ochraceous coloration. Long. 6 millim. 
Hab. Nilgiri Hills; Barwood Estate (H. Leslie Andrews). 
Nicostratus princeps, sp.n. 
Brownish ochraceous ; a transverse white fascia crossing corium 
and clavus at apex of scutellum; membrane piceous; head very large 
and globose, almost circular, about as long as broad, with a transverse 
rounded incised line between the eyes; antennz pale ochraceous, 
apices of second and third joints, and the apical joint excluding base, 
black, second joint subequal in length to that of third and fourth 
together ; pronotum strongly transversely constricted before middle, 
the anterior area or lobe narrow and armed with two strong diverging 
spines, the posterior area or lobe globosely tumid, deflected anteriorly, 
the lateral angles subprominent, the posterior margin very slightly 
concayely sinuate; scutellum developed into a strong upright semi- 
acute spine; corium with the lateral margins concavely sinuate, 
widened and tumid at apices; membrane considerably passing the 
abdominal apex; legs almost uniformly brownish ochraceous. Length, 
5 millim. 
Hab. Nilgiri Hills; Barwood Estate (H. Leslie Andrews). 
Strongly differing from N. balteatus, Dist., by the much larger 
and more strongly developed head, different colour, more acute 
spine to scutellum, &c.

By Eustace R. Banxss, M.A., F.E.S. 
Fore wings smoky brown. Hind wings rather paler. The usual 
blackish markings are present on all the wings, but are rendered very 
inconspicuous by the darkness of the ground-colour. Head, thorax, 
abdomen, &c., proportionately dark as compared with the type. 
This aberration, which I have not seen from elsewhere, and 
of which I have failed to find any published figure or description,
