The type of the genus is NV. bogotenis, Scudd.; the other 
three described species are NV. bicolor, Borel, N. ruficeps, 
Burm., and J. berellii, Burr. 
Genus 2.—LIPARURA,* nov. gen. 
Pronotum latum, quadratum, lateribus subreflexis ; scutello 
patente; elytra costa carinata, carina sat incrassata ; abdomen 
punctatum ; pedes longi, graciles ; segmentum anale valde attenua- 
tum, declive ; forcipis bracchia ¢ subcontigua, gracillima, elongata, 
sinuata ; ? recta, simplicia. 
I form this genus for a pair in the Paris collection 
which I take to be Neolobophora asiatica of de Bormans, 
although the pair in question are from Northern India, 
and WN. asiatica was described from Madras; it differs 
from the following genus in its stouter build, longer legs, 
punctated abdomen, reflexed borders of the pronotum, 
and by the strong costal carine of the elytra. I have 
not seen the type of de Bormans’ species, but the pair in 
question agree perfectly with his description ; the male is 
from Dardjiling, and the female from Bhoutan. There is 
nothing in de Bormans’ description and illustration to 
show any generic distinction from NV. tamul (q. v.), but the 
pair which I take to be his species are undoubtedly 
generically distinct. 
The type is Neolobophora asiatica, Borm., Ann. Soc. Ent. 
Fr., 1897, p. 285, Pl. X, fig. 2, from Southern India. 
Genus 3.—OBELURA,} nov. gen. 
Statura minore, gracili; antennw 12-segmentatie, typice, graciles : 
caput leve, tumidum, margine postico recto ; pronotum quam caput 
seque latum, marginibus omnibus rectis, quadratum, lateribus reflexis, 
vix tumidum; elytra rudimentaria, trapezoidea, margine externo 
usque ad apicem carinata, margine interno quam externo distincte 
breviori, scutellum parvum eflicienti; margine postico oblique trun- 
eato ; ale nulla; pedes graciles; abdomen subdilatatum, plicis 
lateralibus distinctis, lateribus integris ; segmentum ultimum dorsale 
valde angustatum, lave, inerme ; forcipis bracchia ¢ valde eracilia 
et elongata, basi subcontigua et margine superiori per quartam 
partem longitudinis carinata, dehine valde attenuata, leviter arcuata, 
denticulata.
