lobe, but notched in front. Pronoturn with the lateral margins 

 serrated, the lateral angles moderately and broadly produced and 

 obtusely bispined. Scutellum with a small blackish foveate spot 

 in each basal angle. Membrane brownish ochraceous. Body 

 beneath with the head, legs, rostrum, and sternum ochraceous, the 

 abdomen brownish ochraceous. Head with a black linear spot on 

 each side of base of antennae. Prosternum with some scattered 

 black punctures. The rostrum just passes the intermediate coxa 1 , 

 and the tibiae are sulcated above. The abdomen is obtusely 

 sulcated to about the fourth abdominal segment. Long. 14 mm. ; 

 exp. pronot. angl. 9 mm. 



Hab. Bombay (coll. Dist.). 



I have placed this species in the genus Abeona, with 

 whose structural characters it seems to agree. In the 

 typical species Still describes " antenme maxima parte 

 et rostrum mutila," so that, if I am right, the other 

 distinguishing characters of Abeona are four-jointed 

 antennas and rostrum reaching the intermediate coxre. 



Compastcs truncatus, n. s. (PI. XII., fig. 10). 



Brownish ochraceous, covered with coarse and darker punctures ; 

 connexivum luteous, with blackish spots at bases and apices of 

 sutures. Membrane brownish, the venation darker. Antennas 

 with the first, second, and third joints brownish, minutely darker 

 at apices (remainder mutilated) ; second joint longer than third. 

 Pronoturn with the lateral margins obtusely crenulate, the lateral 

 angles produced into broad and apically truncated spines. Body 

 beneath and legs ochraceous, punctured with brownish. Kostrum 

 ochraceous, its apex pitchy and reaching the second abdominal 

 segment. Ventral spine reaching the intermediate coxa?. Long. 

 16 mm. ; exp. pronot. angl. 10 mm. 



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



The truncated apices of the pronotal angles will alone 

 render this species easily distinguishable. 



Compastcs spinosus, n. s. (PI. XII., fig. 11). 



Above brownish, coarsely and darkly punctate. Pronoturn 

 rugulose, with a central longitudinal luteous line, the lateral 

 margins with three prominent spines, the lateral angles broadly 

 produced and somewhat obtusely spined posteriorly. Membrane 

 pal fuscous. Body beneath b] tnd darklj |
