160 Rev. H. S. Gorham's descriptions of 



Opetiopalpus, Splnola. 

 Type, O. scutellaris, Panzer. 

 Opetiopalpus morulus, Kiesen. (in lit.). I think tliis 

 species, found by Mr. G. Lewis, in Japan, at Nagasaki, 

 will prove identical with O. obesus. White (Westw.). 



Appendix A. 



Tillus Leicisii (Kiesenwetter, in lit.) 



I think this is probably notatus, King, but having 

 never seen an authenticated specimen of the latter I am 

 unable to say certainly. The antenna have three joints 

 at the base, and a portion of the fourth testaceous. The 

 thorax red, with a large triangular black spot occupying 

 the front margin, and its apex in the centre of the disk. 

 Base of the elytra and breast red, a Avhite fascia below the 

 middle, narrowly connected with the basal red, at the 

 suture, by the extension of the yellow, which there margins 

 it. Thighs pitchy, tibiae and tarsi red. 



Hub. — Nagasaki (G. Lewis). 



I have a specimen from Laos (Mouhot), which agrees 

 with this, in the exception of having a pale spot near the 

 apex. One from My sol (Wallace), has the black rather 

 more extended on the sides of the thorax, and the apex of 

 elytra white, and is, I believe, identical in other respects. 



Opilo eburneo-cinctus, n. sp. 



Niger, nitidus, ore, antennis, palpis, pedibusque piceis ; 

 thorace parce punctato, medio profunde sulcato, antice 

 transversim impresso ; elytris prope basin rubro-tinctis, 

 fascia mediana angusta, paululum elevata, alba ; usque ad 

 fasciam grosse subseriatim punctatis, hinc inde fere 

 Itevibus. 



Long. 3 lin. 



Allied to O. Pascoii, Gorh. (Cist. Ent. 1876, p. 71), but 

 smaller, and differing from it in the breast not being red, 

 in the raised and unpunctured white fascia, &c. It also 

 somewhat resembles Purotillus basalis, but cannot be 

 confused Avith that genus if the structure of the thorax 

 and the strongly securiform palpi are noticed. 



Hub. — New South AV'ales; coll. Pascoe.
