34G Mr. W. L. Distant's contributions to a 



a central longitudinal levigate fascia, which possesses a central 

 row of minute punctures, and a few scattered punctures on each 

 side. Corium with the costal area very sparingly and finely 

 punctate, the inner area coarsely and somewhat thickly punctate. 

 Membrane pale brownish ochraceous. Body beneath and legs 

 ochraceous ; the body somewhat finely and darkly punctate, and 

 with a central and two sublateral fasciae formed of blackish 

 punctures; legs speckled with brownish. Long. 15 mm. 



Hab. India {sic) (coll. Dist.). 



The lateral lobes of the head are divided to near the apex of the 

 central lobe, and the membrane extends to about half of the anal 

 appendage. Antennae with the second joint much shorter than 

 the third, remainder mutilated. Rostrum reaching the posterior 

 coxae, its apex pitchy. 



I have long possessed this specimen with only the 

 above imperfect and misleading locality attached, and 

 therefore hesitated to describe it ; the following species, 

 however, now received from Sikkim, prove its general 

 habitat, and it was probably derived from some district 

 of North-Eastern India. 



Scylax macrinus, n. s. (PL XII., fig. 9). 

 Closely allied to S. porrectus, but differing by the somewhat 

 smaller size, the lateral lobes of the head only cleft for a short 

 distance before the head (coalesced in male), and the membrane 

 not reaching the apex of the last abdominal segment. Long. 

 14 to 15 mm. 



Hab. Sikkim (Calc. Mus. and coll. Dist.). 



Carbula fusca, n. s. 

 Above shining fuscous-brown. Head somewhat thickly covered 

 with bronzy-green punctures ; eyes luteous ; antennae brown, the 

 last joint with the apical two-thirds blackish. Pronotum with the 

 anterior area and lateral margins punctured with bronzy-green, 

 remaining area coarsely punctate, lateral angles prominently and 

 obtusely produced, their apices reddish brown. Scutellum coarsely 

 punctate, sometimes slightly shaded with bronzy-green. Corium 

 coarsely punctate. Membrane pale hyaline. Body beneath, 

 rostrum, and legs brown, the abdomen paler, with a broad central 

 blackish fascia, on each side of which is a narrower and more 

 irregular fascia of the same colour, and between these fasciae are 

 scattered dark punctures. Femora punctured or speckled with
