under the name 0. javanus which makes worse confusion, and 

 cannot stand. I refrain from adding to the confusion by suggesting 

 another name. I hâve many spécimens of Ommadius from Perak, 

 aud can refer them mostly to known species such as O.fasciipes 

 West, which is very common there. I hope to hâve the opportunty 

 of examining the type of 0. javanus Kuwert, at Tring, as well 

 as of seeing other of his « types ».

The species of Tenerus, are like sorae Telephoridae, very variable 

 in the colour of the elytra, while certain spots on the head and 

 thorax may be very constant. The larger of the two spécimens now 

 before me, is from Rangoon, it is fifteen millimètres long, the 

 elytra hâve a black dash from the callus, and their apices, and the 

 tibise tarsi and knees are black; there are two very fine costee. The 

 example from Tharrawaddy on the other hand is yellow with the 

 exception of the antennae, knees tibiae and tarsi, and the thoracic 

 spots, and is I think a maie.

The head and thorax are deep blood-red, spotless; the former 

 very thickly but flnely, the latter thickly and more coarsely punc- 

 tured confluent and becoming faintly aoiculate at the sides behind. 

 The antennae are black excepting two joints at their bases. 

 Scutellum red. Elytra cylindrical and not costate, the suturai 

 stria évident. The whitish-yellow fascia takes the form of a trans- 

 verse oval but irregular spot reaching the raargins, but leaving 

 the suture itself black. The anterior and middie legs, and the 

 body beneath are blood-red, the posterior legs and abdomen are 

 paler yellow. One example — « Taken beating in May ».
