a very shallow transverse dépression below the base, underside 

 clothed with rather long fulvous pubescence ; legs somewhat long, 

 the first joint of the posterior tarsi as long as the following two 

 joints, that of the anterior ones more elongate. 



Eab. Kanara, Belgaum, S. Bombay, 



The entirely fulvous, shining and finely punctured elytra distin- 

 guish the présent species from its allies. 



Tituboea cornuta n. sp. 



Fulvous, more or less raarked with black below, the base of the 

 head and two transverse spots on the thorax blackish-blue, elytra 

 very finely punctured, a suturai lozenge-shaped spot at the base, 

 an elongate spot on the shoulder, a transverse dentate band below 

 the middle and a suturai spot at the apex, dark blue. 



var. a. The shoulder spot prolonged to the apex and joined to 

 the posterior band, both very broad. 



var. h. Elytra with the spot on the shoulder obscure, ail other 

 markings absent. 



Mas. Head with an acute hornlike projection between the eyes. 



Length 3-4 lines. 



Mas. Head entirely impunctate, fulvous, the base black, the 

 clypeus not separated from the face with an acutely pointed horn- 

 like tooth at the middle, labrum fulvous, mandibles robust, broad, 

 concave above and angularly pointed, antennse scarcely extending 

 to the base of the thorax, the lower four joints fulvous, the others 

 fuscous, the fifth and following joints moderately transversely 

 widened ; thorax nearly three times as broad as long, the sides 

 feebly rounded, the angles distinct, the posterior ones more obtuse, 

 the dise entirely impunctate, fulvous with two transverse, slightly 

 curved black spots at the sides near the base, scutellum broadly 

 triangular, impunctate, elytra feebly lobed at the sides, very finely 

 and rather closely punctured, fulvous, a suturai lozenge-shaped 

 spot below the scutellum, an elongate spot on the shoulder, a 

 narrow transverse deeply dentate band below the middle and a 

 small suturai spot at the apex, dark blue ; underside bluish-black, 

 finely pubescent, the base of the feraora and the abdominal segments 

 more or less fulvous, anterior legs rather elongate, the first joint 

 of the tarsi double the length of the second one. 



Hab. Kanara, Belgaum, S. Bombay. 



This curiously structured species in regard to the maie would 

 probably hâve been placed in another genus by Lacordaire on 

 account of the horn at the middle of the clypeus, I see however 

 no reason to separate the species from Tikoboea of which it has
