shaped like atriangle. The synonymy of the two species 
will then be :— 
E. togatus, Pz., non Fab. = succinctus, K1. 
E. cingulatus, Lep. = togata, Fab., non Pz. = neglectus, 
Zad. 
Pachyprotasis albicineta, n. s. 
Black, yellowish-white beneath. Head black on the 
vertex from a little above the insertion of the antennex 
behind, and at the sides above the upper fourth of the 
eyes ; the eyes in front are entirely bordered with yel- 
lowish-white, and this colour is prolonged on either side 
behind the ocelli into two small irregular points. The 
yellowish-white colour is also prolonged between the 
antenne into the black portion, where it terminates a 
little above the eyes in an oval spot. Thorax and 
abdomen black above, save a triangular mark on the 
mesonotum (as in P. rape, &c.); a small spot behind 
this, scutellum, post-scutellum, a longer, narrower, 
transverse line behind it, the apical edges of all the 
abdominal segments, and the greater part of the last 
segment above, whitish-yellow. Antenne black, with 
the two basal joints yellow beneath. Tegule white. 
Mesopleure black beneath the wings, this black being 
continued as a narrow oblique line to the middle coxe ; 
lower down there is a broader transverse black mark. 
Legs yellowish-white; four anterior lined with black 
above; posterior pair with an oblique black line on the 
cox, a line over the trochanters and femora, and the 
whole of tibiz (save an obscure pale spot in the middle 
beneath) and tarsi black; spurs black, paler at the 
base ; sheath of saw black, white in the middle. Wings 
hyaline; costa and stigma black. Length 4} lin. 
Hab. Himalayas. 
Similar in sculpture to rape and antennata, but it is a 
broader insect. From rape it differs in the abdomen 
being distinctly banded with white on all the segments ; 
in the different arrangements of the black on the meso- 
pleure, and in the much longer metatarsus, which is as 
long as the whole of the succeeding joints; from 
antennata the black on the mesopleure and the black 
hind tibiz distinguish it at once.
