54 KE. T. Atkinson— Notes on Indian Rhynchota. [No. 1, 
In all respects similar to BR. fasciata, Fabr., but without a hyaline 
band or spot. Black-fuscous, beneath with feet and vertex sordid 
yellow-livid ; tegmina and wings fuscous-pellucid, in certain positions 
shining subviolaceous ; small marginal space on the tegmina at the costal 
sinus obsoletely pallescent. Frons almost half broader than the length, 
lateral margins slightly converging at the base, gradually rounded be- 
neath the middle towards the apex, tricarinate, the median ridge some- 
what continued through, the two lateral more obsolete, continued from 
the base scarcely to the middle: the apical margin of the tegmina 
somewhat longer than the commissural margin, very slightly sinuate 
between the middle and the apical angle, costal margin broadly distinctly 
sinuate a little behind the middle: wings furnished posteriorly with 
transverse veinlets arranged in two rows, the posterior row more regu- 
lar: last tibies armed with two distinct spines behind the middle and 
before the middle (always?) with a small spinule (Stal). Exp. teg,, 
4) millims. 
Reported from Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Malacca, Singapore, Tenas- 
serim.

6. Blackish; beneath with feet fuscous-testaceous; tibia and tarsi, 
paler; tegmina and wings black-fuscous, the former slightly shining 
violaceous ; a band on the tegmina placed behind the middle abbreviated 
near the costal margin and sometimes interrupted, and a median band 
on the wings abbreviated towards the anal area, whitish. Stature 
entirely of R. fumata, A. & S.: the frons with obsolete longitudinal 
strie and three obsolete ridges: wings behind the middle with two 
abbreviated transverse rows of transverse veinlets ; costal apical angle of 
tegmina a little more produced than in I. fumata (Stal). This species 
is often confounded with R. fasciata, Fabr., which is somewhat like in the 
marking, but differs in having the costal and apical margins of the tegmina 
straight and not sinuated, the exterior apical angle less produced and the 
head somewhat narrower, and is moreover an African species. Long, 83 ; 
exp. teg., 35 millims. 
Reported from Singapore, Malacca.
