of the fîrst yellow fascia and the whole of the subapical one are 

 densely clothed with depressed, bright, golden pubescence, the 

 apex of the elytra is a little pitchy. 



The antennae are formed entirely as in T. cleroides Gorh. and 

 T. libalteata Gorh. (Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. XII, 1892, 731) but are 

 scarcely serrate, their apical joint falciform. I hâve (loc. cit.) 

 pointed out that Tillicera clialyhœa White (Westw.), is net 

 congeneric. 



Tillicefa aimmllosa^ is very similar in gênerai appearance to 

 XenortJirius mouJioti Gorh. (1. c. p. 734) : Besides the generic 

 distinctions, which easily prevent any confusion, in the unique 

 example from Kanara the head and thorax are red and not 

 pitchy, the pale fasciae are golden-pubescent, the ponctuation 

 is quite différent, and the apices of the elytra are pitchy. 

 The yellow bands of the elytra are broad and straight or very 

 nearly so, and not at ail interrupted, and the insect is generally 

 very differently coloured frora. T. bibatteata.

A most obscure and unsatisfactory species. For the discrimina- 

 tion of fhis and allied species a few examples carefully mounted on 

 cards, so as to be able to be removed, and with the hair in fine 

 condition, and if possible the sexes taken together, would be far 

 more valuable than long séries of pinned and (is usually the case) 

 ill-preserved spécimens.

This species, the type of the genus, is very like some other 

 species as 0. fasciipes Westw. It is best distinguished by the very 

 long thorax of nearly even widih throughout, with a very fine 

 central keel. Herr Kuwert has in his Revision of the genus Omadius 

 (Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg., 1894, p. 62), among many errors and over- 

 sights, made that of adopting the name proUxus Klug, long sub- 

 séquent to that of Laporte, and is aiso wrong in attributing the 

 name indiens to Spinola. H. Kuwert has also described a species

 « Omadius ».
