greyish-hrown, opaque; antenna^ brownish,the apical joint piceous; 

 eyes black, a greyish-white Une at theii* inner margins; pi'onolum 

 wilh the latéral pi'odaced areas hyaline, the mai-gins ol' the areolets 

 and a posterior transverse streak greyish-brown; elylra wilh the 

 (iiscoidal and subcostal areas with short transverse liiscons brown 

 Unes, the costal area hyaline with the margins of the areolets, a 

 transverse fascia bel'ore middle and an oblique fascia near apex, 

 fnscous-brown; body benealh and legs brownish; pronotum with 

 the hood compressed, w'edgeshaped, covering base of head, the 

 disk li'icarinate, the central carination straight, extending from the 

 vesicle lo apex, the latéral carinations short and slightly curved, tlie 

 apical margin greyish; the latéral produced areas broad, a little 

 directed upwardly and with tlieir apices distinctly triangularly s|)i- 

 nous; elytra with the costal margin convex, the costal area a litlle 

 widened posteriorly. 



Length 4 mill. 



Hab. Tenasserim; Myitta (Doherty). 



AUied to B. dentatus Ffeb , but diiïering by the shape and trian- 

 gulary spined apices of the pronotal latéral areas, the shorter latéral 

 carinations to the pronotum, the more regular width and the more 

 convex outer margin to tlie costal area ol' the elylra. 



9. — Belenus bengalensis, sp. n. — Above somewhat unitbrm ly 

 fuscous-brown, Ihe produced latéral pronotal areas and costal and 

 suturai areas to the elytra with the interior of the somewhat large 

 areolets greyish-white; antennas fuscous-brown, the apical joint 

 mutilated in the two spécimens now before me; elytra with an 

 obscure transverse fuscous-brown spot before middle and a more 

 oblique and more obscure spot near apex, the mai-gins of the dis- 

 coidal and subcostal areas prominent and dark brown ; body 

 beneath dark fuscous-brown, the legs with the femora fuscous- 

 brown and the tibiœ brownish-ochraceous; the produced pronotal 

 latéral areas ressembling those of B. angulatus but with their 

 apices a litlle less angularly spinous; pronotum very similarly 

 tricarinate as in that species; elytra with the discoidal and sub- 

 costal areas densely covered with small areolets the interiors of 

 which are greyish white. 



Length : 4 1/2 mill. 



Hab. : Bengal ; Muzaflarpur (Indian Mus. and Coll. Dist.) 



Resembling B. angulatus Dist, but darker in hue and willi the 

 costal area of the elytra distinclly nai'i-ower than in Ihat species, the 

 latéral produced pronotal areas less prominenlly triangularly 

 spinous.
