antennas are sufficient to readily distinguish this from 

 the other species of the genus. It is of a variable 

 nature, as the connexivum is generally purplish brown, 

 with an ochraceous spot at base of segments, but these 

 spots are sometimes scarcely visible. In one specimen 

 now before me the right-hand third joint of the antennas 

 is normal, whilst the left-hand corresponding joint has 

 the apex broadly ochraceous. 



Eusthcnes eurytus, n. s. 

 Allied to E. hcrcules, Stal, but smaller, the pronotum much less 

 rounded at anterior-lateral margins, and tho lateral angles even 

 less produced than in that species. Antenna) wholly black, the 

 apical joint very narrowly ochraceous at its apex. Tarsi bright 

 ochraceous. Long. 36 mm. ; exp. pronot. augl. 16 mm. 



Hab. India (sic). 



I have no better locality for this species than the 

 vague one of "India." It has been in my collection 

 for some years, and, not having received another, I take 

 this opportunity of describing it. 



PHYLLOCEPH ALIN M . 

 Basicryptus illuminatus, n. s. 

 Body above dull dark reddish ; pronotum with a broad discal 

 transverse luteous fascia margined with black, attenuated at each 

 each end, and slightly notched beneath at centre. Head with the 

 eyes dull ochraceous ; antenna) with the first, second, and third 

 joints reddish (remainder mutilated). Pronotum with the lateral 

 margins somewhat finely crenulated, the lateral angles broadly 

 and subacutely produced. Scutellum with a small luteous spot in 

 each basal angle, and a few very small luteous spots at apex, and 

 with some central and lateral black punctures. Corium with the 

 base of lateral margin narrowly luteous, and with some very small 

 and irregular scattered black spots. Membrane pale hyaline, 

 somewhat thickly ornamented with small fuscous spots. Body 

 beneath and legs dull reddish, with blackish punctures; disk of 

 sternum and some sublateral streaks to abdomen obscure luteous ;
