Hah. " North Hiudostan '" (Brit. Mus.). Bangalore ( Coll. Dlst.). 

 In some specimens of this species the cliscal tubercles to the 

 posterior pronotal lobe are barely discernible. 



b. Pronotum with anterior and posterior lobes differently coloured, 

 a. Scutellar apical spine lonr/, porrect. 



1091. Acaiithaspis porrecta, sp. u. 



Closely allied to the preceding species {A. luteipes)., and prin- 

 cipally differing by the structure of the scutellura, which has the 

 apical spine very long and robust, not obliquely ascendant, but 

 laterally porrect; the head, anterior lobe of pronotum, base of 

 scutellum, and hemelytra (excluding spots) are piceous. 



Length 18 miliim. 



Hah. Ceylon ; Peradeniya {Green). 



h. Scutellar apical spine obliquely ascendant. 



1092. Acanthaspis tavoyana, Dist. A. M. N. II. (7) xi, p. 355 (1903). 



Black ; head, anterior lobe of pronotum, lateral and posterior 

 margins of pronotum (the last arcuated and inwardly bicurved), 

 latei'al margins of corium (widened near base and only extending 

 about two-thirds from base), a small spot on apical margin, 

 connexivum, a spot on each side of head beneath behind eyes, 

 and lateral margins of sternum and abdomen dull red ; first joint 

 of rostrum a little longer than the second ; anterior pronotal lobe 

 strongly sculptured, posterior lobe finely rugulose, the lateral 

 angles spinously produced and directed a little backward, and with 

 two short tubercles on ]^x)sterior margin ; scutellar spine obliquely 

 ascendant. 



Length 19 ; breadth between pronotal angles 6 miliim.

Ochraceous ; head, anterior lobe of pronotum, anterior lateral 

 margins, two small discal spots, a larger central basal spot, and 

 hind margin of posterior lobe, scutellum (excluding obliquely 

 ascendant apical spine), clavus (excluding margins), subclaval area, 

 a subbasal spot, two small central spots and apex of corium, basal 

 and apical areas of membrane (excluding veins), spots to con- 

 nexivum above and beneath, body beneath, rostrum, antennae, and 

 basal, apical, and central anuulations to femora and tibiae fuscous : 

 first joint of rostrum distinctly longer than second ; basal joint of 

 antennae slightly longer than head ; pronotum with the anterior 

 lobe very strongly sculptured, posterior lobe finely rugulose, the 

 lateral angles spinously produced and recurved, posterior disk 

 with two short but prominent tubercles. 



Length 20 miliim.
