EUSTHENES. 265 



castaueous : bod}' beneath pale castaneous ; counexivum black, 

 with a reddish-ochraceous spot at base of each segment ; apex of 

 scutellnm castaneous ; legs black, the tarsi yellow ish-castaneous. 



Allied to the preceding species {E. rohustns), from which it differs 

 in having the pronotum not wider than the coi'ium, the meso- 

 sternal ridge furrowed, a spotted connexivum, the body beneath 

 differently coloured, &c. 



Length 39 to 42 ; breadth between pronotal angles 20 to 22 

 millim.

414. Eiisthenes eurytus, Dist. Tr. E. S. 1887, p. 358. 



Allied to E. hercules, Stal, but smaller, the pronotum much less 

 rounded at the anterior lateral margins, and the lateral angles 

 even less produced than in that species ; antennae entirely black, 

 except the apical joint, which is very narrowly ochraceous at the 

 apex ; tarsi bright ochraceous ; posterior femora beneath \^ith a 

 strong spine near base, and with a double series of short spines 

 near apex. 



Length 32 to 36; breadth between pronotal angles 14 to 16 

 millim. 



Hah. Assam {CoU. Dist.) ; Shillong (Gills). 



The dark legs and pale ochraceous tarsi afford one means for 

 the identification of this species. 



415. Eusthenes saevus, SW, Tr. E. S. (3) i, p. 597 (18C3). 



Olivaceous black \^itli ferruginous reflections, the corium most 

 strongly suffused ; body beneath, base of the apical joint of 

 the antennce, and the apex of the scutellnm very pale castaneous. 



Allied to E. eurytus, from which it differs by having the tarsi 

 dark castaneous, not ochraceous, base of apical joint of antennae 

 ochraceous, posterior femora either wanting the double sei'ies of 

 spines near apex or possessing them very obsoletely. 



Length 27 to 32 ; breadth between pronotal angles 13 to 16 

 millim.

410. Eusthenes polyphemus, Stdl, Tr. E. S. (3) i, p. 598 (1863) ; id. 

 En. Hem. i, p. 232 (1870). 



Above shining purplish-black, the corium a little paler : body 

 beneath and legs very pale castaneous, the posterior femora 

 purplish-black ; apex of scutellnm and a large poi'tion of the basal 

 joint of antennae very pale castaneous. 



This species, besides its smaller size and differently coloured 

 legs, differs from E. Jiercules in having the mesosternal ridge more 

 elevated and in that part not furrowed ; the posterior tibiae not 

 so stout, with the lower flattened ^^ortion longer and reaching the
