390 On the Species of Dyscritina reared by Mr, Green 
se distantia, basi validiora, dehine attenuata, recta, Inermia, apice 
attingentia, 
Long. corporis 10 millim.; long. forcipum 1°4 millim. 
Head blackish, rounded, slightly rounded between the eyes, broader 
than the pronotum ; eyes black, antennz black, palpi testaceous. 
Pronotum blackish, flattened, hinder margin rounded. Elytra long 
and broad, dark brown, slightly paler in the female than in the male. 
Wings creamy, the coriaceous part blackish, shorter than in D. 
longisetosa. Legs, femora blackish, tibiz paler, blackish at the base, 
tarsi paler. Abdomen black, the tubercles of the 3rd and 4th seg- 
ments less distinct in the male than in the female ; in the male long 
and slender, subconstricted in the middle, the last segment large, its 
median sulcus very faint. Forceps black ¢, reddish ?. 
Hab. Hone-Kone (Kirby, Mus. Brit.) ; Inp1a, Bombay, 
(Mus. Brit.); CEYLON, Punduluoya (Green). 
The pubescence and hairs of this species are arranged as 
in the last, but are less dense and strongly marked. 
The specimens reared by Mr. Green differ slightly from 
the type form in colour. In the type form the pronotum 
is broadly bordered with white posteriorly, whereas it is 
uniform blackish in Mr. Green’s examples. This difference, 
which is not enough to justify the establishment of a 
separate species, is the only distinction which I could find 
upon comparing Mr. Green’s insects with Mr. Kirby’s 
type.
