Hab. IxprA, Belgaum, Kanara (Andrewes, Bell). 
Bengal, Konbir (P. Cardon); Ceylon (G. Lewis). 
The punctuation is scarcely visible, the form is orbicular simi- 
lar to that of C! sexareata. In fully coloured examples the basal 
mark of the thorax is like a double flat wedge-shaped spot just 
united in the centre of the base, the two dots are in the middle of 
the disk. The elytral markings consist of the suture thinning out 
before the base and the apex, and two lines, the outer one recur- 
ved towards the suture, the inner one towards the margin, and a 
round dot near the apex. The margin of the elytra is a little 
expanded but not at the apex. The body beneath and legs are 
entirely pale yellow. I have seen this insect in other collections, 
but it was not in Crotch’s, and does not appear to have been known 
to him. 
Orcus ? ferrugineus n. sp. 
Orbicularis, convezus, crebre ac distincte sed subtiliter puncta- 
lus, lotus ferrugineus ; elylrorum margine lenuiler reflexo; juzta 
suturam linea e punctis fuscis haud bene discretis formala. — 
Long. 2 millim. 
Hab. Ixpia, Kanara (Bell). 
This little insect is quite orbicular, and rather strongly convex ; 
the head is very thickly punctured so as to be semi-opaque; the 
thorax is three times as wide as long, the sides deflexed, the base 
obliquely so (as in Chilocorus), this and the elytra evenly and 
quite distinctly punctured, not at all pubescent. 
The epipleuræ of the elytra are depressed for the motion of the 
knees, but are not inclined nor foveolate. 
Orcus is the Eastern representative of CAilocorus, taking the 
place of that genus in Australia. But there are true Chilocori in 
India, and it is only provisionally that I place this and some other 
small members of the C'hilocoridæ, in the genus. At present I cannot 
point out characters for the separation of the genera contained in 
the subfamily. 
Exochomus lituratus n. sp. 
Ovatus, niger, dense breviler pubescens; elytris ochreis, plaga 
lata submarginali, ad apicem communiter exeunte, nigro-fusca. — 
Long. 5-5.25 millim. 
Hab. : Ixpra, Dalhousie (Somers-Smith . 
Oblong-ovate, thickly but minutely panctured, clothed with a very 
thick, but short pubescence, which is of a yellowish grey colour.
