s coccinea. 



Distribution. Ethiopian and Oriental Regions and Japan. 



Allied to Salviamis, bnt differing by the shape of the head, which 

 is triangular and acuminate at apex ; the body is also narrower 

 and more elongate than in the two preceding genera.

Dull pale sanguineous ; apical joint of the antennae black, 



its base red ; head and anterior area of the prouotum blackly 



punctate, posterior pronotal area 

 rugulose, the lateral angles angu- 

 larly produced somewhat forward 

 and upward, a distinct transverse 

 ridge between these angles, and 

 the lateral margins distinctly 

 serrate ; scutellum sometimes 

 marked as in Salvianus dilatatus 

 and sometimes concolorous : body 

 beneath a little paler than above ; 

 stei^num thickly blackly punctate : 

 abdomen with live longitudinal 

 discal and lateral marginal series 



of black punctures, sometimes obsolete, and the stigmata black; 



legs pale sanguineous. 



Length 14 to IS ; breadth between pronotal angles 8 to

469. Gonopsis rubescens, Dist. Tr. E. S. 1887, p. 359 



Allied in colour and general characters to G. coccinea, but 

 differing by the pronotal angles, \\hich are less produced and 

 straight, not upward and forward as in Walker's species ; the 

 transverse ridge between the pronotal angles is also straighter 

 and more distinct. 



Length 14 ; breadth between pronotal angles 7 millim.

(1868). 



Dark reddish-ochraceous ; scutellum ochraceous, sometimes the 

 head and pronotum also ochraceous ; head and anterior area 

 of pronotum blackly punctate, the posterior pronotal area usually 

 but not always less distinctly punctate, a straight well-pronounced 

 ridge between pi-onotal lateral angles, which are only slightly 

 broadly angularly produced ; apical joint of antennse, excluding 

 base, fuscous or black : scutellum with five more or less distinct
